ouch!!!!
 
Saturday the 15th, I picked up a set of Sportline by Eibach lowering springs.. as me and my brother was done changing the fronts, my brother lowered the car and all of a sudden.. '''CLACCKK!"' As I looked around.. The car was still in place.. in my mind.. "stay still and dont mooove...." as I told my brother to hold up WHILE I Look for the other jacks, he SLOWLY lower the jack.. and then.. "CLACK!" the radiator snapped out of its place.. the coolants all over the ground.. and the intake pushed up.. and as I came back.. :eek: with nothing to say.. my brother said.. "the block slipped" AHhhhh.... so this was my first project for the car and its gone so far so bad.. checked everything and everything else fine.. ordered a radiator so it' should be coming in today along with the K'spoiler..

bummer... hopefully you upgraded radiators?

if you didnt put that radiator in yet, and its just a stock replacement, you should return it and get a koyo :)

That's why you don't jack up the car on the front radiator support - it's designed to support the radiator, and notmuch esle
