gotta compress the springs a LOT with these shocks. New control arm in, the FCP bushings are ****, gotta order new thrust arms and do this again, they look mint but slop around like their missin something. FCP=TOTAL CRAP.

I had the sachs installed and it seems to be a little softer ride than the kyb's. But honestly, I can't tell much difference.
Kinda glad I didn't get the bilstein's. I've never heard of a shock leaking so much- even the ghetto walmart brands. Maybe they should be contacted so they can redesign it. It doesn't do them much good to sell crap if they want to continue selling shocks.
Sorry bout your car Jeff.
one side done including the new control arm (FCP so ill order new ones for that too), should last a month with any luck.

the sachs/boge are a pain to install with the return springs that they have built in that retract the piston a couple inches, gotta get a good bite with the compressors and squash the **** outta the spring just to get the nut on
all america wants is cold beer warm cat and a place to take a poop with a door on it
Good luck Jeff, post any problems you run into btw. I will be tackling the same project as soon as I get the kit... Only difference is I will have absolutely no freakin clue what I'm doing
a few years from now with what I teach this dude im bailing on a challange with him.
Shox taken up tomorrow.
