I already took care of my suspensions. Going lower springs with lower spring rate will make your suspensions worn out fast. I know I had experienced with CM springs on my old supercharged. Lesson learned from there but like the way it look though. The ride on lowering springs with poor spring rate just ride terrible for daily driving. You'll be extremely happy when you slap on YYZ.

Yes, Make sure you put in YYZ when you put in new parts. OTTP springs may be nice but spring rates are nowhere close to John Powell's springs.

I did used the impact sometimes it don't work because it rusted inside the bolts and it'll just spin. Just get vise grip and clamp it really tight then try to unbolt it. If it does not then grind them off.

Well to. The pics ive seen yyz are the same drop in the front as ottp and the back i think only half inch taller so it will be a nice drop and ride quality should be better to what everyone says

The end link has two flat spots on it for (I believe a 17mm wrench) placed on the end link between the link and the sway bar. I just put Koni's all the way around plus Powell springs, his trailing CABs and the Powergrid Endlinks. The car has over 139k miles so I figured it was time.
