I happened to spend New Years with a friend who also works at a shop and told him my plans for the car and he offered up his shop and help to get the coil overs installed so we set the date for January 15th as install day. The night before I inventoried all of the parts and found I was missing a bolt for the subframe spacer so I tracked one down and on Saturday we were all set to go:

The install itself went pretty smooth. Getting the subframe lined back up with the spacers was a nightmare but we got it eventually and got everything torqued down. The hardest part came when I started adjusting the ride height and pretty quickly maxed out how low I could go.

I set them all to match ride height on all four corners, got it aligned, and gave it a few test drivers. Here’s where it sits now:
