so ran into a few issues. first, the base hobby shop's floor jacks suck and didnt lift me high enough on the jack stands, so springs had to be compressed to get in, and a few other lil things i tinkered with took my time up. all in all, learned a bit(never done suspension stuff, but done my share of 2-stroke motor building as well as some VW and subaru engines) so it was a blast. looks better already and tomorrow will go quicker. will take pics tomorrow doing the front right corner and rear. wish they didnt have to close! haha. now time for a nice cold
