Default Tanabe woooo hoooo

well i installed my suspension this weekend a 2 hour job turned into a 3 day job. not going to mention any names but there were bolts stripped left and right grrrrrrrrrr. it took 5 hours to get one of the bolts off after i cut and then tryed to drill into it nothing worked so i had to cut the shock just to get it out. but on a good note i love the suspension the handling is GREAT and the ride is very smooth. i have to adjust my coilovers the way it is set right now my car has a 4'' drop and it still rides very smooth. VERY NICE suspension i wish i could buy one for everybody. also installed my exhaust and headers very big diffrence. i have to get an alignment and it needs to be dynoed but wow what a diffrence even untuned. i cant wait to go to the track!

Damm shock bolts **** me off. Same old thing, my drivers side rear lower shock bolts head snapped off and stuck inside the socket as well. It was like that stupid bolt had welds on it. The good old drill came out to finish the job, Then Honda parts was closed so me and my friends looked at each other stupidly with no bolt to put in its place so we started drinking and waiting for parts to open.
