I have stated that in the above post...

BTW, do we need torque wrench at all?

You can use a torque wrench, but i dont know the torque specs, you also need 21mm socket for the lug nuts. I am not sure about the springs rates. But the car rides stiffer.

Yes, I got the big socket for the lug nuts with my wheel locks. So after you remove the wheel, you only need to use those 3 difference sockets to remove the suspension parts right?

BTW, thanks for your help.

Yea pretty much, you might also need 19mm or 17mm wrench for the rear bolt. The rear is easy, jus raise the back up high, so you can push the lower arm all the way down to remove the spring.

heres another pic of the drop

Looks very nice! I'm actually going to go with the Eibach since I can get a good deal on them. So for raising the car, a 5 ton garage jack should do the trick, correct?

07IMLG - Did you ever check the alignment after the install? I really want to know whether an alignment is necessary after such a slight drop. Thanks.

I would love to know too.

I'm sure you will still need the alignment done, but it would be great if they could get it in spec without having to use a camber kit. :-)

Drop looks great! I like that it's a small drop.

Do you know the spring rates on the Impul springs and the sport springs?

how is the ride compared to the original sport springs? Stiffer? Same? can you feel every small bump on the road?

Thanks!
