I would be workin' on the fronts today after school, but unfortunately i got work. **doh**
Tommorrow will be the day i finish the fronts and mount on the Revo's. :D

Well the fronts were done in 2 hours yesterday after school and before work. :)
Anyways on wit the pictures.

About to tear it apart.

New Driver strut and spring mounted.

I didn't get a picture of the front passenger cause i was on a time crunch on gettin' it installed.

That night i needed gas so i went out for a little test run to make sure there weren't any squeakin' or creakin' noises, only noises are from the R/C/A poly bushin's and TRD RSB poly bushin's creakin' and squeakin'.

At the gas station.

The new stance this mornin'.

Very Nice! I bet you can't wait to finish the job! A series of pics would make a good tutorial.

Just food for thought for anyone else considering replacing struts and springs together:

Look into new upper mounts. This way you can leave your old struts and springs assembled for when you want to sell the car or go to the stock ride height for winter. (For the snow belt folks.)
