I got them and have had them for like 5 years. I love them...perfect height. No clearance issues. As far as changing them yourself....the backs take like a half hour for both. The fronts take awhile longer. You'll need to get a spring compressor for that puppy.

They arnt too bad. I did them myself in a day. I took my time Anyway, I have some clearance issues with my new driveway , so im switching back to my stock springs. I also have Hooker LT's and a low hanging y-pipe. With stock or shorty headers it wouldnt be a problem.

If your interested I have my pro kit for sale PM me...

i'd let a shop take the front springs off the struts, i did one set, but on the second car i did , the spring compressor came off and hit the car and my wife. not good.

just take the strut assy off, and take it to a shop, give'em a call, should be cheap.

Oh, great. I have a set of these springs waiting to go on (need shocks yet) aaaaand a set of LT's to install yet. I have a sloped drive way with that s-shaped curb/bump at the base of it. Is that what you have and is that why you have clearance issues?
I'm worried now, I'd hate to not be able to get in my drive way after the installs
