after 2+ months I finally got all of the parts to install my front coilovers. The total control products stuff is very expensive but the fit and quality make it well worth it. I had to drill out the spotwelds for the upper spring perch as its no longer needed and gets in the way of the coilover top hat ![http://img15.imageshack.us/img15/6549/img3488s.jpg](http://img15.imageshack.us/img15/6549/img3488s.jpg) after that I decided the red oxide on the fenderwells might be visible so I hit them with truck bedliner. ![http://img845.imageshack.us/img845/1504/img3487q.jpg](http://img845.imageshack.us/img845/1504/img3487q.jpg) with the new top hats the old strut tower brace hit the hood, so I took it off and will be ordering the TCP one as soon as I get some cash. ![http://img52.imageshack.us/img52/1475/img3490f.jpg](http://img52.imageshack.us/img52/1475/img3490f.jpg) ![http://img848.imageshack.us/img848/4716/img3491d.jpg](http://img848.imageshack.us/img848/4716/img3491d.jpg) after that I had to assemble the coilovers. ![http://img641.imageshack.us/img641/6301/img3492z.jpg](http://img641.imageshack.us/img641/6301/img3492z.jpg) ![http://img36.imageshack.us/img36/7324/img3493b.jpg](http://img36.imageshack.us/img36/7324/img3493b.jpg) and installed ![http://img535.imageshack.us/img535/9206/img3497p.jpg](http://img535.imageshack.us/img535/9206/img3497p.jpg) got the car back on the ground and was surprised at how low it was, Im sure it will settle too, so once it sits for a day or so Ill get the car sitting the way I Want. ![http://img269.imageshack.us/img269/2896/img3499aq.jpg](http://img269.imageshack.us/img269/2896/img3499aq.jpg) ![http://img232.imageshack.us/img232/8884/img3500fa.jpg](http://img232.imageshack.us/img232/8884/img3500fa.jpg) pretty much as low as it will go and still being able to move the car.
