I can't believe it. My roommate just happens to be off work this week. I don't have any plans on getting called out today. I have to run about 20 min away. Do a 30 min job and come back. During that time my roommate runs out to the store.... a matter of 14 min, exactly, elapses where no one is here. BAM Fed Ex Door Tag. Needless to say my neighbors got an ear full of unhappiness. I will toss some pics up if it doesn't rain tomorrow and I can get them done.

No tool included.... 2.5mm allen wrench is what I've found best to use.

I installed all four corners of koni 4/4 and strano springs. I have to say the drop is perfect (I think it settled all the way in now). I only played a little with the settings so far. I have the rears 25% from full soft and the fronts about 50% turned. I need to call Sam for some of his recommended settings. That is, if I can get some free time during business hours this week. With the current settings I have to say it's a straight improvement over stock. The turn in just begs you to hammer the throttle. Almost eliminated nose dive during braking and I mean hard braking in comparison to stock. I have about 68K on my clock. So not terrible stock to begin with. The impact from road imperfections isn't quite as jarring as stock. It lets you know about every imperfection, but don't smash you over the head with it. I live in massachusetts, some of the worst maintained roads in the US, which doesn't help with plowing tearing up the roads. I might have to take a video of some of the roads around here just for you guys to appreciate where you live. The quickest road out of my house I refuse to drive down with the camaro. You would have to see it to believe it's a state maintained road. I am getting an alignment this week also, I figure that is plenty of time to settle and looking forward to that much more of an improvement. If anyone has any questions about the install, it's fairly fresh in my head. Shoot me a PM.
