She actually drove it off the lot like that. The dealer tinted it and did the wheels. I enjoy it when she lets me drive it

Well, I picked up a used set of wheels from Craigslist. Looks good!

I have some lowering springs on the way. I love tinkering with this car.

Yep, I love my garage and the lift... it will come in handy when I install those new springs! Hopefully this weekend if the rest of the parts come in...

Well, I attacked the lowering springs today. Pretty straight forward work.

Remove the side panels in the back seat:



This gives you access to the three bolts for the top mount of the rear shocks.



Disconnect the various bolts on the strut:

Now you can remove the three bolts on top of each strut and they basically drop out:



I went to AutoZone and "borrowed" their spring compressor.



The first one all apart



Then basically reverse the process and put everything back together
