Installed Suspension Saturday

Started about 8:30am on Saturday and ended around 11:30am

We installed eibach pro springs and Koni Sports...
the Eibach dropped my car down more then an 1", more like 1.6"..
I was suprized it went lower than 1", but Im happy...

The installation went pretty easy.. On the front we had to take the front oem struts,
drill a hole on top for the top screw to screw into the Koni's.
We had to cut the strut, so the built in shock can be removed.. After boring a little where we
cut, the Koni's slide right in.. The backs were pretty easy..

The ride in all is alot better, pretty smooth.. My choice for the set up was decided based on
the fact my wife and son ride in the car, so I didnt want to get to low.. So for me
this set up is a perfect fit ....
