Finally lowered my car!!!.......kinda......

well last week we could get all but one spring in. so i took it to a shop today. i got the shops name from a guy at the autozone where we got the spring compressor and tie rod puller. anyways, bolt came out, but i had been soaking it in PB blaster for a week, he did have it up on a lift, and he was using a 4ft breaker bar. anyways, i had all new parts from honda if needed. we ended up just using the new bolt since the old one was all goobered up. only charged me 35 bucks.

so hoorah!! my car is lowered evenly now!!

next thing now is the alignment. so far nobody wants to touch my car. even a guy that was supposed to be cool refused to touch it because i didn't have a rear camber kit. i told him he didn't need one and he should just try to get it as close to factory as possible. he said he didn't know where i got my information from but i didn't know what i was talking about and he said i do not want to touch your car.

my car also is making a creaking sound when turning left or right. it reminds me of an old pirate ship when the masts and rigging would creak. ITS NOT THE STEERING RACK I JUST HAD A NEW ONE PUT IN. i have no idea what the hell it is, im not rubbing anywhere. so if anyone could help me on that, that would be tuuurific. i thought maybe it was because the car was on different springs, but its still doing it.

Try some lube between the spring and the perch, like the thick grease you use on poly bushings.

Also, lol @ letting the suspension settle for a week! It's settled after a 5 minute drive dude!
