Default Now the fun begins (got kybs)

Finally got my KYBs.. Now comes the install. I decided to get the corner bumper lights as well.

I'll post pics after I get them put on.

It should be a nice drop... I guess you'd be dropped on stocks for now till you get your 20's...

I have KYB GR-2's on the way for my GS430. In your pic, I cannot see the bracket on the shocks that you screw the abs sensor into. Are they on there? If you're not sure what I'm talking about, you can look at the first set of pics on the L-Tuned suspension install thread. You'll see where a pic of the abs sensors is attached to the shock and the next one shows the abs sensor unattached with the bracket exposed.

I've been driving around on my new KYBs with L-tuned springs for a week and it rides great. Good Luck
