Autospring question

Did anyone have to use a impact wrench like the instructions state?

Also I bought mine from the autospring / ebay link, but the parts look like they were made at home in someones garage ( no emblem or stickers like picture the shows ). Anyone else notice this? It was the 2" kit.

I did the 2'' and the impact is not needed but nice to have. I had one.

I did use an impact, but just on the lower strut bolt that needed the 30mm socket. It was pretty damn tight. My 2.5" kit didn't have anything but one sheet of paper with instructions...no decals or anything. I also got it from the ebay sight. Easy install, took about 2 hours.

On mine the stickers were included in the package not stuck to the spacers like the picture, there was some welding flash but the welds look sound.
At the end of the day it's a spacer that sits in the shock tower not a piece of polished billet. I don't really care what it looks like as long as it works, and that it does!

I wasn't really concerned with the looks as much as I was making sure I was getting what I ordered and not some guy advertising Autospring and making the things his self.

I feel better now, looks like I will put them on tonight.

Thanks
