Lowering springs and new struts TODAY!!!

Don't judge so quickly, I looked up the parts in the catalog myself, and even bought the parts without any help!

Actually, I was going to do it myself, but, the weekend is coming up and I WANT TO DRIVE this weekend. Also, I don't have access to those clips to compress the springs. Oh, hell, I admit it, I looked in the book and said, "f that, I'll just pay someone to do THAT!"

Was that wrong?

Lowered... it doesn't really look that much lower than before, but I'm hoping it will settle a bit in the next few days... But the ride is dramatically better due to the new struts and bushings!
