Dropped my car on 350 H-Techs myself yesterday.
Update There is a full DIY on my install on page 5 of this thread for anyone that needs help.
So far so good. I like the drop already. I have an 06 sport package. In the front before there was a little more then 3 finger gap between the tires and the fender. Now there is about a little more then 1 finger gap. I know it will be about a month for it to settle, but I'm liking it already.
I did the whole thing myself. I just rented a spring compressor from AutoZone. At Autozone they let you borrow the tools for FREE, you just have to leave a deposit which you get back when you return the tool. Whole thing took me about 6 hours only because I had to go back and get the right compression tool. I got the incorrect spring compressor (shock coil compressor), we need the strut coil compressor. I think I can do the whole thing like in 2 hours now. So if anyone needs it done, I can do it. Installation Fee shall apply
cuz its not easy on the arms and back
. I torqued everything into spec so I feel safe too. So if anyone needs help with I can give advise to help get it done quicker and safely.
I'll take some pictures and post them after work.
