I love the color on those... would love to have these on an OB. I know you don't see them too much but these with red calipers would be siiiiick (not with my current wheels tho).

Def post pics once they're installed!

So these are 2.5's? Didn't know they offered true coilover.

They look very unusual-very short spring.

Hmmm, well a few days later and now the rear is done... its was alot easier then the front. My car still does not look lower though. The coil in the front and rear come already at least in inch lower the stock but I dont know any difference at all. Try to adjust even lower tomorrow.

Finally, now it looks like its dropped, I lowered the front a little more and took out the factory rear springs. My rear setup didn't come with the F&F springs so I'll have to do without till I get some. Heres some pics.
sooo clean

Wow those new ones look sweet, I didn't even know they change them! And btw I guess the new ones are true style which means you don't put any spring in the rear springbucket where the oem was. That's why there is a spring on the strut. You can even remove the bucket and go with a nice toe arm setup rather than toe bolts. Btw the springs will settle over a bit of time and get lower automatically, so keep that in mind.

Wish I could trade my older style for these!

Thanks... Im not familiar with "toe arm" and "toe bolts" I'm assuming your talking about getting a different type of control arm one without the space designated for the spring (toe arm) and what I have now is a toe bolt? Is it better to have a spring there or not? im sure theres a difference either way, but not sure what.
