One tip on installation.

Reuse or buy a new rubber spacer for the front springs. Its the piece of rubber that coils along the bottom of the spring and rests in the control arm. Mine was too badly worn to reuse, so I went without it. If you go without it the car will sit about 1/4 to 3/8 inch lower than what it is supposed to. The problem I had is this made it hard to adjust my camber, so one front tire actually had a different camber than the other. The car is aligned right and drives straight, but it will affect tire wear. Mine might be a specific case, but the moral if the story is reuse the old piece of rubber or buy a new one beforehand.
