90-94 pro lx sprint springs installed!
my vehicle is a 92 sohc rs.....everything in rear is gone except for speakers and the panels holding them. the car has a little weight reduction. the rear was a breeze to install...no compressors needed. the drop was 1.6" from the advertised 1.8" drop, but i think thats because the rear is really light from weight reduction. the front were just installed today and i got a 1.7ish drop without settling in...so im not sure how low it'll go. the front needed a bit of compressing but not much. very simple if you can get the wheels off and have compressors and the needed socket wrenches/tools. took about 45 per side and is pretty good since its the first time i installed springs. oh btw...these are stock struts and the camber is bad...anyone know if they have a how-to for that cheap camber bolt thing? the topics on the ubb dont explain too much about installation.<p>i recommend these springs for you rs owners....bought $105 shipped from ebay and the guy shipped pretty fast.

the camber bolts replace the large bolts that join the strut and the hub assembly. They give some "play", so that you can change camber. Remember to go get an alignment ASAP.
