Busted

I got all the coilovers installed except the driverside rear. I was having a hard time getting the lock nut off the top of the shock sleeve. All the others came off fine, but this one was pretty stubborn.

By the time I got it going, the allen head was beginning to strip out. So I had to drill the allen head out with a power drill. I knew the shock was pretty much trash at this point, but I wanted to salvage the top hat.

I ordered just one shock from O'Riely's but it won't be here until Tuesday, so the car is sitting on jacks stands until then... :(




I have a feeling the rears are going to be dropped pretty significantly... look how much space there is between the top hat and spring still!
