I installed my Eibach Springs yesterday by myself in about 4 1/2 hours. Was not as bad as I thought it was going to be. I followed the How-to write up that was posted in the Suspension Forum. It was a big help, so thanks. Also, I got tired of seeing the wire to my Radar detector on the dash so I drilled a 1" hole in the lower pocket and put a rubber grommet in it. It turned out pretty well and you don't see the wire across the dash anymore.

Looking great! Good job hiding that wire.. I did something very similar to hide my GPS wire on my last vehicle.

how hard was it to run the wire for the radar detector down the way you did?

Not hard at all. If you look at the picture with Radar detector in it, I ran it right below the a-pillar, down the side of the dash and under where the hood release is and used some zip ties to clean it all up.

I always try to do everything my self, one to save $$$ and two, if something goes wrong, I know where to start looking. Plus I don't trust others to work on my car.

It's a 12" Sub. It barely fits, but the fit is so tight that it doesn't slide around. It matches pretty good too, so I can't complain. Now I just have to decide which Exhaust I want.
