A day with my lowered sedan 56k will die
I finally got a day off to install my lowering springs. The springs since have settled a lil instead of having a 3 finger gap it is now barely 2 finger gap on the rear and 2 finger gap in the front. Ill have newer pics of my car later this week when its clean. Hope you guys like.

After on the rear
It has currently settled a lil bit more to a two finger gap
We were currently working on the front in this picz
The front is finally completed and this has also settled a lil bit to about a 2 finger gap.

What springs did you use, where did you put jack stands and jack up the car?
I'm installing my Sportlines on Saturday, and all this info would be very helpful!
How long did it take as well?

It took us a total of 3 hours to install the springs by hand. The rear is really easy. The front is a lil hassle I found especially because of the sway bar being some what connected to the strut. The jackstands I just placed under the car as if you were gonna fix a flat. It is actually easier if you can get both sides of the car up at once. We just jacked up the car off the crossmembers, at the end of installation I highly recommend using the smallest jack you can find, because the large one we had couldnt get out under from the car. I ended up using sprint springs. I couldnt go any lowering in my area, but they def. improve the looks of my rims on my car. I am happy.

I have ramps anyway, no wway i could possibly get the jack stuck underneath.
I'm going to jack up the car completely and take off all the wheels at once to do my springs, thanks for the info, I'll get pictures as soon as i finish! (Hopefully Saturday night)

Mines lowered half way
The back is done, but I'm having some trouble with the front lower strut bolts. I will get them off soon and sportlines installed on them, the gap on the rear wheel from tire to wheel well went from about 2-3inches to about .3-.4 inches, i love it!
