They love to watch me strut.

Hoping these will quench Bullmobile's hunger for front tires.

Are those quick struts? Be real careful about ride height when you are done. The last few sets I've installed have the front riding noticeably higher than the back. Save your originals in case you want to go back to the stock springs.

Yes they are. I plan to do the back in the spring so hopefully that will be a non-issue.

It may still be an issue - I've seen two cases personally where the front sat two inches higher but the backs sat where they were supposed to. It actually cost both cars gas milage. 1st car we put the original springs back in. Recent car (two weeks ago) we didn't save them and now I'm kicking myself because we are going to have to fight with Monroe to get the right spring.

Seriously, save those front springs!!!!!!!!!

(and I have a good spring compressor too. No reason to be doing those quick struts! Just get the strut and bearing plates and bring it down to my place!)

Close to Boston. But I'll balance your tires! (You're in Maine, right?)

Yup, I am.

Do you own a shop or something? I'd love to drive down and use all your toys sometime.

Not a 'shop' but I have a pretty extensive garage. With heat ;)

Heat. That's the magic word right there.
