We have tried removing the nut on the front strut several times without any luck. We have irritated the folks at Sears every time we exchange a tool that doesn't work and have tried everything listed in this forum.<br /> <br /> Does anybody have a DUMMY step-by-step version of the front strut removal with pictures of the tools while they are… Earlier this month we installed the rear H&R springs and have been using them for a while, though after settling they are a 1/4" lower in the rear than the front.

Any tutorial help with be appreciated, otherwise we need to find a shop to perform the work. Affordable Spoiler Body Kit? tag:www.451s.com,2008-10-25:1912846:Topic:49118 2008-10-25T05:14:43.793Z Lourdes http://www.451s.com/profile/Lourdes We are having a custom wing made and are looking for a wide body kit. We have seen the Konigseder ($3500) and Lorinser($ouch) versions and understand that Smart Madness is coming out with something soon?<br /> <br /> For that kind of money I personally would like to see something that isn't just bolted onto the existing fenders. But rather, replaces the entire front bumper lip and fender wrap-around with fenders to look like early Dodge Vipers. Does anyone have a 1995 Viper/2008 Smart photoshop?<br /> <br /> But… We are having a custom wing made and are looking for a wide body kit.

These other kits are made by established companies like Wings West, Kaminari and Rado to name a few. Wheel Spacers tag:www.451s.com,2008-10-20:1912846:Topic:48461 2008-10-20T20:48:26.371Z Lourdes http://www.451s.com/profile/Lourdes On Friday I received my H&R springs and I am waiting on an order of 16x7 wheels w/ 205/45/16 tires all around and wanted some spacers in rear. They should be hubcentric and 10-15mm with longer lugs included if needed. I have seen H&R and Eibach offering them for $150+, but looking for a little cheaper, closer to $100 shipped. If you are a seller or know a seller that can help, please point me in the right direction.
