Thanks for the compliments all! I agree that lower is better. With my high miles.. we'll see how long the struts hold up. If they ever go out I'll swap 'em with d specs and maybe throw some lower springs on it since I'll have to take the suspension apart anyways

Is that what you're dropped on?

Pretty much the same situation I was in. The passenger side strut had a stripped (ROUND AS FAWK) nut on the upper mount, so I got an entirely new assembly for it, and just dremel'd the old one off. When the car's got some miles on it, rotating the strut around the upper mount becomes REAL hard because they want to seize up. With the help of paying someone... It took me about 15-20 minutes to get the car on jacks in the front, 20 minutes to go down the road and get the new springs on, 20 minutes to put them on the front, and 10 minutes per side in the rear. Unfortunately for me, my car's old age made it give me HELL with the seized struts, stripped bolt, and the rear lower control arm (Driver's) was bent just a RCH (red cvnt hair) and didn't wanna go up where it's supposed to... so all in all it took me about 5 hours. -__- worth it though!
