I know you want to break necks, but you're going about this the wrong way I'm going to guess you got valve stems.

No, no, I'm not dissing them. They actually look pretty sweet I was referencing how I had to awkwardly twist my head around to read the box (Total noob here) Are they simple to install? Like, just remove the old one on the wheel and put the new one on?

Ok. It's been a while but now the holidays are out the way, back to MODS! So the past couple months I have been looking all over the Internet for a great deal on some coilovers. I was determined not to spend a dime over 600. Finally, after much patience I came across these barley used Megan LPS for 600 shipped. SWEET! Ordered my tires today also. Some 225/35 20s for a slight stretch on my 20x8.5 wheels. Probably gonna have to rent a fender roller from eBay tonight. So I will post pics from the install throughout the week or so. Can't wait to get this LS squatting on these 20s! This is an everyday driver so there won't be any crazy camber. Sorry.

Ok. So here is the final product. Very pleased with the outcome. Just need to roll the fronts a little and it'll be good. Megans feel really good, thought for sure that the ride would be harder.

Default Love it! Wish mine could get to that point!

My 97 Coach has body dings all over but the interior is great except for the dry rotted head rests and the stitching on the top of the back seats. 107,000 miles on it and all stock. Really like the tables and the white lens on parking lights!

Appreciate it. Mine had about 8 dings all over when I first got it. I had this guy come over and what he does is rolls out the dings with these small bars. I was amazed at how flawless it turned out.

After getting at a comfortable ride height, I maxed out the factory camber, and did the alignment. Ordered some 25mm spacers for the rear and 10mm for the front. Rolled the fenders also. Sitting pretty good. Very functional.
