BDubs definitely has better wings, and out here, the scenery is actually better at BDubs. You just have to pretend a bit... Last time I was at Hooters the waitress sounded like she had marbles in her mouth.

he said its different but good, feels more solid, and he said "i can feel the road more" which i guess means its a little more of a "live" feel to it.

How long does it take for the coils to settle back out? We noticed about 1/2" of lift from the new struts??

I didn't notice anything like that. Were they an identical size, comparing them to stock?

Weird. That would mean he'd need an alignment if they don't settle.

yah, i think they will settle out, usually takes a couple hours of driving, or let it sit overnight. Just didnt have any experience with the newer stuff really, other then when we dropped your rears.

both pretty easy, we went the tie rod method. 6 bolts to have the strut out and disassembled

mine would be 6 bolts as well

but mine doesnt need a spring compressor, you can cheat and use the floor jack :o

Yeah, I've read about that floor jack method on your year model. Not too bad if you've got good hand/eye coordination.
