Pat,

I had a nice listee  sell me a set of his H&R springs, have'nt installed
them yet. back shock is just hella hard to get off plus the fact my
2 little girls scream when Daddy's working on the car and my wife always
needs a status check of what I'm doing to the car. ahhhhh :) love huh?

H&R springs are nice can't wait to get them on, its been killing me
these will drop me about an inch and a half I think.

Joe
toooooooo much wheel well :)
