Just received my OZ delivery, finished the vehicle calibration download and sent off the file for the tune.
Now I just wait!

Finally got the Bilsteins installed tonight and the undercarriage sprayed with Fluid Film for the winter weather due our way this weekend.

Some measurements Before and After.

Driver Side Front Before



Driver Side Front After Full 2.1" Setting



Passenger Side Front Before



Passenger Side Front After Full 2.1 Setting



I'll get some exterior after shots in the morning, I did a side view before earlier today.

Thanks, Andrew they were supposed to have been done last week but as life goes, we got the struts shocks alignment and undercarriage sprayed in under 2 1/2 hours.

That's pretty good time considering just doing the front coilovers on my 13 took me about 8 to do. I had a few stubborn bolts that wouldn't come loose for me. However I went out and bought the milwaukee fuel high torque 1/2 impact for next time lol. If that thing can't get it out then it's gonna need to be cut out.

My buddy has full-service automotive shop with 6 lifts and alignment rack, we do most work on my vehicles after hours and he's the only one I trust to do anything I'm incapable of doing. I'm not a mechanic by any stretch of the imagination, I'm a bolt on stuff driveway kinda installer you know oil changes minor wiring and custom stuff.

I'm not a mechanic either. I'm more than capable of doing pretty much anything if I have the right equipment though. I've done a few lift kits in the past, but I don't have access to a lift. I do work in a shop but since I work for an insurance company I can't use the lift.

That sucks, having the equipment at work and not being able to use it. My company has a full machine shop and I have 24/7 access even when we're closed, so long as I don't get hurt I'm good. I wish we had a garage door for ground floor access thou, that would be the icing on the cake.
