    I hear ya, just make sure the socket is all the way on the nut before cranking on it or you're going to round it off. Maybe get someone to hold it on there for you?

    Took struts out and gave them to a tire shop down the road. Asked them to remove the retarded spacers and keep the 5100s at the middle setting. Also have 2 new top plates that they will switch out the old ones with. Will post pics tomorrow once i get my struts back and reinstalled!

    Also, how do you replace the speedometer lights to LED? I think a blue back glow would look pretty sweet. Is it straight forward to figure out? Or a PITA?
