A few things learned:(1) Haynes is waaay to optimistic on accessing the rear struts. (2)make sure you remember to torque those dampening nuts before you close up the interior(stripping it once is bad enough).(3)Jack was right about the improvement in ride.Even got to dust a tricked out Civic @ 110+ while trying it out :D

Just remember, when the Civic's speedo tops out or when they hit their limiter...the Solara still has plenty of room for velocty. :D

The only pic's so far are the "before" shots.My new rims are supposed to land thurs. and the Greddy next week.I'll try to get some pics then.The install wasn't bad,as people have said the interior diassembly is the worst.I unfortunately had to do this twice(forgot to torque the dampner nuts).I also lost time on the first rear strut after installing it finding the bumper on the floor
:( Total time was about 7.5 hrs,would've been 6 w/fewer mistakes :)
