Yup, saw that. I thought of buying it but decided not to since I really can't go any lower since lowering it with STAR AND WASHERS....lol.

DIY takes 30 minutes, don't take it to a shop your wasting money unless your not comfortable working on your car.

1. Remove front tires and locate stock links.
2. remove stock links and adjust the new ones to stock length and begin adjusting accordingly from there.
3. remember, making the links longer in front and shorter in the back lower's the car and vice versa for raising it.
4. for the rear, lift up the car. the link is located behind the differential. undo the two bolts holding the sensor and pry off the old link and install the new one. adjust the link accordingly.
5. grab a beer cus you are done


tools:
- pry bar or long screwdriver really comes in handy
- dish soap helps to remove the old links
- 12mm wrench

You don't even have to remove the front tires.

I was just about to order from some site for like 300 plus 25 shipping and said what the heck,let me do a quick search on ebay for them.

At 150 shipped these really are a steal.

it looks like he sold 4 more since I posted this.

I think I should get kick back haha

I'll be getting mine soon.

Actually went out on the front porch and they came today.. kinda bummed. looks like something droned up in the hardware store in the nuts and bolts isle. I could be wrong. Ive never seen anything different. I just figured for the minimal drop id like to have $150 is a steal. We'll see i guess??

Still worth the trial..
