Nice work on the vid and the install. An air compressor and gun are always your friend and make life alot easier.

Great vid! After watching this I may try it myself. Did you do a panhard bar at the same time? How about those pictures of the car now that it's done?

I hate those circle things! A couple of those were installed in my town and they suck!
Your ride looks good BlueKnight! I need some time off to install my setup.
Was that freeway you passed in the movie I-80?

Yeah, it took me forever to get my set up installed, just to many other things to do. Yea, I was on 395 but it intersects at I-80 just a mile from where I was at in the video. I would have taken the turns in the video faster, like where that round about thing was but its right where a construction zone is and there is dirt and gravel all over the roads. From the outside view when I pull a u-turn and take off, when I'm coming toward the camera you can here the sound of my tires sliding across the dirt as I try to stop. My wife was like, "why did you do the turn so slow?" I said, "Because if I went much faster I would have ended up in the sage brush behind you!"

Ok so put the springs in the rear no prob and the DS was really easy too. Then came the pass side.
Everything went 2x as fast as the Driver side then BAM major problem. The 15mm nut at the top of the strut assembly was rusted to hell! WTF. Budged it with a 15mm deep socket but top of the shock started to move with the nut. So deep sock is no use now. Using a 15mm box wrench and clamps on top is getting me no where!!!
Please someone tell me what my options are now!?!?

I'm sure this will get more traffic when the current bunch of Konis and Strano springs come in. Really helpful video to get the basics

Under the unibody frame rail in front of the rear wheel. Should be a little dimple you can see in that area. Anywhere along that rail will be fine.
