Nice!!! My parts had to be special ordered thru Toyota I guess from what Chapman told me. My parts should be all in on Monday and then ill have a day during the week to drop mine off to get her all fixed up. At least I know my front bumper will have ALOT thicker paint coat than what subby puts on their cars.

Well, I finally got tired of my blown strut, so that's getting changed today. Luckily it's just one, but I might change both fronts depending on how long it takes me. Not looking forward to the alignment fiasco.

I'm changing it myself at the auto hobby shop at DM, but I'm second in line, so could be awhile before I can start. You're welcome to come help when you get out.

Smoketrees, I'm just putting an OEM replacement in, I got Jasper's fronts, you got his rears. The koni fronts are an insert, so I'm waiting for one of the vendors here to offer a pre-built one so I can just drop it in.

Why don't you just jack the car up yourself in the front and change em out? Lol I mean I know our cars are low now with the springs in and is a pain but I got it accomplished and just did it in my parents garage. I would even do it in my apt complex, lol.

I don't have the wrenches to remove the front strut, spring compressors to disassemble the new front spring/strut assembly, a floor jack or jackstands. So I'm paying the auto hobby shop 3 bucks an hour so I can use their tools, lifts, and other fun stuff.

I think I found the rattle noise that im getting when I hit 80. I thought it was my rear shocks but I think its the diffuser rattling against metal bumper. Ill see how much movement you guys have on yours at the pavs tonight. I think that guy that rear ended me may have broken a tab or something. Im also thinking of just getting my windshield replaced not from the chip but from the damn pitting which sucks when the sun hits it.
