Installation was straight forward.
Just minor difficulty dropping the front knuckle from the strut and aligning the rear lower knuckle bolts.
One thing to note, the front struts don't have an alinement post to slide into the knuckle slot. There is an arrow stamped into the strut body. Use that reference to the knuckle slot and the struts will be in proper position to attach the sway bar end link.
Quality of components is first rate. I set the ride hight at the highest setting to start. Also added 1/4 more to the rear with shims on top of the spring adjustment body. I don't want to change the rear hight that much from stock.
As of now the front still looks too high.
I have not driven the car at this time.
Will drive the car as is for some distance and see if things settle down lower.
Then I'll lower the front more if needed.
I'll report back after I have driven on various road surfaces.
I'm hoping for a more controlled and firmer ride.
Main goal of eliminating the 4x4 truck look has been accomplished.
