Just got them fitted today! :D
After 2 hours, they're finally installed.
Needed da spring compressor to get da fronts out though...
Totally different car now! :D :D :D

The shocks I got can only have a slight adjustment if for example that ur car has lower springs than mine. I left it on da highest setting, all it is is a circlip/snap ring wit only 2 height settings.
I can get the same shocks for ur car for $685, normally around $1000 retail :wink:

I got someone from work to fit it for me. Wasn't as hard as we first thought. Just needed da spring compressor for da front shocks. I've neva changed springs be4.
I haven't really tested da handling yet.. :lol: I've had bilstein shocks fitted on my car, so I'm not runnin on stock shocks! :D Well..in some cases ur stock shocks won't last that long, like mine did. :(
