Update... I just put them on last night. Took about 6 hours by myself. My brother helped a little with the rear lower control arm. It was a biach for the first one but the second one was easier. I didn't cut any bumpstops with the h&rs. I drove it today it drives like stock just a tad bit stiffer. You can barely notice. It looks great. Pics tomorrow after wash

Yup I didn't mention I washed and waxed the inside of my wheels. I hated the brake dust buildup. I used only hand tools. An air compressed for the springs would of been nice. It was dark in my garage too. You have to press down on the lower arm to get the strut out. I ended up using a block of wood acrossed it and have my bro take it out. Next time if I do coilovers it should be like 2 hours tops

I went with Tien S techs. liked it wasn't that stiff like other springs I've used on other cars. I only had it for roughly a month and car wasn't driven much. ( car pooling ). Ended up getting true coil overs for the adjust-ability factor. But for a spring that notes 1.6" front lower it looked a tad bit lower than advertised. Which was fine by me.
Oh yeah, I have the barely used Tien S for sale if anyone is interested.
