fronts are easy... rears are usually a bitch because of the endlinks from hell. i'd let them do it. i got a fat macedonian guy to install the lowering springs on my old grand cherokee. most places wouldnt even do it back then.

**racergirl** · 12-13-2004, 12:30 PM

thanks ratko :) it would be nice to keep that $150-200 in my pocket for my next mod

Once they are installed best to have alignment and tracking done, also again when they have settled after 2 weeks.

**racergirl** · 12-13-2004, 10:04 PM

thank you.. now i'm thinkin about puttin a hold to my springs installation and thinkin about gettin some KYB or tokico shocks i mean while they're there they might as well install shocks.. so maybe i'll jus put them on hold till i buy some shocks just get everything done at once.

**lamchops_0928** · 12-13-2004, 11:09 PM

good idea. if you can afford it, i think the koni adjustables are better though.

**racergirl** · 12-14-2004, 12:17 AM

yaa adjustable would be great but they're soo expensive. this is just my every day driver. i think i'll be fine without adjustable i found KYB shocks for $200 for the set :) thinkin about going with those

**celicer** · 01-18-2005, 01:08 AM
