Nice write up. By the way, installing these by yourself is a complete pain in the ass. I haven't even gotten to the back yet. I'm waiting for a friend's jackstands.

After you do a few cars, you learn a few tricks. It took me about two hours to swap out my struts and springs on my S. You will appreciate the work you did once your finished.

Great. I drove it around for about 20 minutes, up to about 65 mph. No issues with breaking or stearing. There's no grinding, squeeking, or rattling. Any thoughts?
