    Zip ties solve all problems.

    Also duct tape, but mostly zip ties.

    Hope you solve the coilover issues without too much hassle tho. Best of luck to you.

    I don't have the tools needed to do the struts, and after my past few experiences with the local shops I don't trust any of them to do the work so I'm not really sure where to turn.

    Also, this is my only vehicle so downtime is a real struggle to deal with.

    BC told me 4 weeks to get the replacement parts I need. Needless to say I'm finding another company to make me a set of coilovers.

    While I figure out how to make to Atlanta this weekend with a blown up rear suspension, enjoy these.

    Found out that my rear coilovers were completely mangled this week somehow.

    This should be a fun fix if I can even get the parts.

    That's definitely an option. I'll shoot you a PM later tonight.

    They won't bolt up that way unfortunately because they have to sit flush with the plate. And the I think the struts are spun down to max, so removing the rings would do me any good.

    I see wider tires/wheels in your future
    I see 19x10 and 19x11 in my future with a real nice stretch. I need to fix a few things first.

    All my air lines are inside the car under the plastics, my leaderline are what keep getting caught in my wheel wells when I go full lock.
