    Trying to figure out if that is a piece of furniture on the right side of the picture or a pale legged ginger in wrinkly blue capri's standing on a window sill. Care to fill us in? :burp:

    The lower control arm uses rubber bushings that have pre load on them. Have someone step on the lower arm and keep it under pressure and then use a pry bar to slide the coilover into place.

    I am sure some of you may have done this so here it goes:

    I don't want to flip my tires to keep white letters on the inside of the wheel. So has anyone taken off their white letters from the tires?

    How? Any damage to the tire? Keep it real.

    Never enough
    Why not just pay to have the tires flipped if you want the white on the inside? Sounds like a better solution than modifying the tires in some way which could compromise their integrity. Just my 2¢

    Enough to make it a lot of fun!
    It shouldnt cost you much to flip the tires and there will be no chance of damage to the tire.
