Guys/Gals,

I just want to say that I give a big ROUND OF APPLAUSE for HOTRODZ (Bob) - Who drove 3 hrs from Kingman AZ to Phoenix to deliver some parts for me that I purchased off him!

I was sitting up in the sky with the stock suspension and needed to switch it up - So I bought Bob's slightly used NISMO Struts and some TEIN S Tech Springs.

From what I read the drop was supposed to be around 1.2 in the front and 1.4 or so in the rear. I think the front dropped more then the rear but I still love it. The NISMO struts and new springs seem to make the ride much stiffer and more bouncey! Highway driving is very smooth, possibly smoother then stock. Also, corning is a whole new world over the base setup. I feel like I can easily add 20mph when taking corners after adding the new suspension.

Install took roughly 5 hrs.. I got quoted $340 to do the install with the struts, and i just said F' it... Im going to DIY...

Only issue was that my wheel lock got stripped. Got the 4 lugs off, but couldnt get the wheel locks off.. So i broke them & used 19MM metric sockets and a hammer to get them off.. Other then that, beer & pizza made the job that much easier.

Here are a couple pics:
