My Megan Install

[david]

We used the DIY from this site..it was awesome! Very detailed. Our only real issue we had was breaking loose the bottom bolt on the strut on both sides up front. We used a impact wrench, a huge wrench with about a 6 foot cheater bar and about 2 cans of wd40. Those 2 bolts took over 1 hour of the install. Everything else was pretty easy!

Nice looking drop .
I see you got tools from Harbor Freight, why not pick up a box of those disposable latex gloves :smile (2):

 

[Dracula]

[AeroBFA]

Ya nice looking coils too. Harbor Freight FTW! :nerd (2):

 

[david]

I like getting my hands dirty on projects. I don't care for latex gloves either

 

[SexualChocolate]

Nicely done! FX looks good.

OTs: Love the garage color. Man you guys have some vascular arms...

First impressions after install?

 

[david]

I have them set 6 clicks from hard. It's rough on speed bumps and train tracks but I love it on the road. No sway side to side. Less movement front and back on accelerating/braking

(We both are taekwondo instructors and we both work out a lot)

Nice, breaker bars are a must!

Nice drop and great pics

Must have been tired. 1 Hour? Any cuts?
Drop looks mean, & I dig the stocks on there

 

[david]

1 hour-on those 2 trouble bolts yes-very frustrating.
any cuts? on us? not sure what you are asking but no we did not have any cuts on ourselves.

Everything took about 4 hours. We were not rushing anything and we have neither ever done springs or shocks. Would have beend quicker with more jackstands or jacks

Good job guys! The DIY satisfaction is very apparent on your faces in the "dirty hands" pic.

 

[HumbertoCALI]

Good to get a little dirty when you want to get a mod done right.

Thanks for sharing..
