I want to stop buying crap for my car but I just can't. Time for me to order these damn things.

hopefully my check for $100 comes in the mail soon so i can order these before the group buy is over!

The second i got the email from Margret i placed an order for one of these. Cannot wait to get them on my sedan!!!

honestly, i'm not even exactly sure why i want them... i just know i do... i'm glad they got these to fit on the sedan

AND sweet... $74.69 does make it even easier to accept my unexplainable need for this contraption

I posted this on nissanclub as well, figured it will help people with the install.

Sorry for the late post, kit just rolled in today. Install is on delay due to rain....stupid rain.

I read the instructions and looked on the site, but took some pics for those still curious about how the brackets are supposed to be oriented and quality.

Here is a pic of the dampers and orientation from the view of looking at the front of the car...



Bottom plates have the ball pointed in and flapped down...thats probably why you need to notch the baracket on the headlight brace so there is space for the locknut to sit.

Install Instructions come with kit and are on the Stillen site.

Each of the 4 sockets have a small metal pin that locks the ball in place. jusrt pop off the pin, slide it out then pop in the ball, insert pin, snap it closed around the neck of the socket.



This last pic isjust a wider view. The sockets are threaded onto each end of the dampers. i took some time to find the best orientation to have the "Stillen" name showing as NISSAN4LIFE had installed his.

The socket is secured by the nuts provided. I used 2 socket sets to tighten them together.



Hope this helps.

EDIT:

Here's 2 close up of the ball an sockets.

check out how I installed it. It might be different for the sedan but my coupe had lots of fitments issue in rod down way. Mounting rod up has no fitments issues except that it opens the hood violently all the way to the top, smacks it and then the hood starts to shake.
