Installed coil-overs... dropped car WAY too low (great, not I look like a 16 year old... and I'm scraping up gravel in the alley)... remove coil-overs, adjust, reinstall... better but still not right... third try, developed a technique of just unbolting the bottom of the shock and anti-sway bar... slide broom handle between frame and swing-arm, pry down to release the bottom of the shock, spin threaded bottom of shock to adjust height, finally go tit where I want it.

Still need to fix the cross threaded lug nut... and the new stereo I installed has problems... but it keeps me off the streets at night.
