Gotcha. Thanks. Just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something.

Good call on the lubricant though - I've heard too many horror stories of corrosion - especially scary in the climates that deal with snow and salt covered roads.

Good luck on the install! Please post pics when you're done.

- Just a rule of thumb to replace the mounts when replacing struts!

Dammit, my springs came in on Saturday and now I'm like - should I install them or wait for the rims? Not to mention, I may actually be getting rid of my car soon... jeez, so much pressure...

Maaan! You know how many times I tried getting rid of this car? it just keeps following me home hahaha

But yes, of course, you're right. I'll be looking around at some deals and seeing if it would make sense for me to trade it now or maybe keep it a little longer... we'll see what happens...

LOL you're not the first one to say this to me hahaha But sure, I'll sell the lip, if I'm getting rid of the car. I'll swap the brakes out too - maybe someone local wants drilled/slotted brakes, barely used... just saying LOL
