I have the TWM sts. Install took 1 hr and required no dremel just drops right in. Be sure to get the optional bushings with it.

Rear springs take about 15 min to change and do not need a spring compressor, just for the front struts. Make sure you get a wheel alignment when done.

Don't wait, the amount of "settle" that I have seen has never affected the wheel alignment. I did mine as soon as I installed the springs, happend to teach wheel alignment this spring at school and used my car. After sitting for 4 months the alignment was exactly the same as when I did it. So much for settling. In the time you install the springs and drive it to the shop, it will be settled. Dont wait.

just imagine if your IAT2's were not in the 180's!! you would have trapped significantly higher as you were probably at about 13 deg. of timing!!

Just Bought B&G Lowering springs 133.95 the guy never even used them they brand new .. so pumped to get these bitches. People say these give the biggest drops for springs.(im doing them for looks not performance) but they are one of the better springs for our cars

oh also is it safe to run lowering springs on stock struts? will the stockers hold up?

If your struts are in good condition and clean they will be fine. It is nice to put on new struts but not necessary.
