Anyway, those instruction were awesome, made the install very simple. You'll wonder why most shops charge so much after you install them your self.

well...the rears are in...and let me tell you...HAVE ANOTHER MAN WITH YOU TO DO A SPRING INSTALL!!! getting the new springs in by urself is harder but the spring install itself my little bro could have done...if he had muscles:shifty: ...it was a piece of cake for the rear...

lol it has been an hour since i started and look at me...and the temp...so i stopped to come in a drink gallons o' water and get a bite to eat



this is was 215lbs of man sweats like after an hour or so in 100+ degree weather in my garage with a big fan blowing on me!! and yes there is a circle where the sweat did not reach inbetween my...you know



well it is wierd to have a rear lower than my front!



i will get more pics when i am done!!

I'll check in a bit, but I would find someone to help with the front, not required but would make the reinstall alot easier.

Those things gave me hell to, thats the only reason it took me 2hrs for the front. What I did was lay under the car door, put my foot on the brake caliper, and push with my foot while I was pulling on the ratchet.

No, I don't have aim, or any messenger for that matter. Hold on a sec and I'll get some pics of the abs sensor, and as for the caliper bolts, maybe you have a small pull handle or something to make it easier.

Here the abs sensor, you have to unclip it after you unbolt it.
