I'm getting so aggrivated because this install has been nothing but a nightmare. First the rear didn't lower it actually raised. Not what I want. Now I can't get the frigen front strut out. I took the strut brace off unbolted the top of the strut and the lower strut mount along with the sway bar end link. Now for the past 1.5 hours I've been fighting to get the stupid strut out. It just will not come out. Everyone says the front is so much easier but I just can't get this frigen thing out for the life of me.

PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!

I figured it out. One item was left out of the instructions... Take the bolts to the upper control arm off. Once I did that everything came right out. I spent 1 hour and 45 minutes trying to wiggle the frigen thing out.

Well the install is basically done except I didn't torque the bolts down. i'm going to let the car sit for a day and then tighten everything up. The back is sitting a bit high right now but it has gone down quite a bit since earlier.


I stripped the end link on the sway bar so I'm hoping tomorrow I'll be able to find a tap to rethread it and still be able to use it. If not I'll have to buy a new link from the dealer.

glad you figured it out. I was going to give you a bump earlier, but I didn't want to get your hopes up when you saw a reply...

Let's just say I was out of my mind... LOL At least right now the car looks pretty sick. Hopefully I'll be able to rethread that endlink and get some new pics tomorrow.
