Lowering Links=AWESOME

I received my links in the mail this morning so I decided to work half day. With all the trial and error and locating the rear link it took me an hour and 45 minutes. This is def a DIY install. Here are some pictures from my cell phone.

Well drove it last night with 5 passengers...Good news is it doesn't rub at all.. Bad news that the ride quality went down. The cars bounces a bit.. Therefore I will be raising it up a bit tonight

It's probably because it's riding on the bump stops from being so low.

I had that problem at first as well. I would jack the rear of the car up and put it on a jack stand. Slide under the car and locate the link. It is located above the tranny (I believe)

Then get two long flat head screw drivers and a long needle nose plyer and make sure the car is cold or you will burn the $h!t out of yourself ( Learned the hard way) LOL

Once you have it off, I found it easier to put the one towards the middle of the car first then the other.. It'll make sense once you are looking at it. If you want, take a picture and I can explain it a bit better.
