Default Welp, front TRD springs in...

2.5 hours, all hand tools. Not too bad other than breaking a couple bolts loose. I removed the windshield wipers and realigning those up was a pain (should have marked them).

I'll get to the back tomorrow (with a TRD sway). Hopefully it goes as well.

Already have a 1 finger [I got fat fingers] difference between the front and rear, I bet there's still some settle in there.

you'll like em alot more when they settle . just a note, i didnt think it was a big enough drop for it to make me bottom out so much. i hav the oem lip btw. gotta go up and down at an angle all the time to avoid any damage :-\. they're still awesome though!

Ya, I can tell the drop already because the wheels fit better into the wheelwells.

Today when I parked at Autozone, I pulled up like I normally do over the cement block and when I was walking back I realized that I'll need to not do that when I return the spring compressor (no front lip, but still don't want to scrape).

All in all, this was much easier than working on a 35 year old vette with rust welded nuts like the last time I did suspension work!

Yea, the drop is slightly noticable immediately after the install. I have pix from before, immediately after the install, and after they've settled. 3 drastically different pictures in my opinion.

Not a bad install - the rear is much worse
