racing beat springs installed

Well,after breaking the lug key and having to install 3 of the springs with the wheels still on the car,not to mention that i also broke the front abs sensor wire in the process,the car looks great and dosnt rub. It looks real low now,and is just as smooth with the rb springs as the oem ones.overall it worked out pretty good.

my gmc tech friend helped me,i had to take a couple exta bolts out of the frt suspension.and was able to flop the wheel towards me.It was a bitch, lining up that hole at the bottom of the shock to insert a 4 in bolt.Had to use a crow bar.the back was a little easier.

Wouldn't it have been easier to get a new lug key...?

not really,I cant get the exact lug key because i am the 2nd owner ,per ray crowe.So,i have to get new lugs and key.And then i still have to get the other ones off.I figured i might as well try to finish the task at hand,and worry about the other stuff later.
