Just installed my tokico struts and tein springs.

Well I finally installed my struts and springs. It wasn't hard to do at all except the part were the stock front strut flew apart and nailed my knee cap! Use a spring compresser if you need to take apart the old shocks (if possable). Any ways I thought I would post some pics,

I didn't buy new rubber boots for the back, I just cut out the rubber dampner so it would bottom out.

There is no engine in the car yet so I havn't tried them out or even put the car on the ground to check out the drop. I order and paid for the sr and it seems to be taking forever. I was told it would be here last friday but nope. Then they said it would be here today but its still not here. Now they say it will be here on thursday.
