Thanks for this video. I'm removing my Tanabe DF210s and putting my original springs back on. I'm having difficulties removing the front strut that I didn't experience in the original install. Once the two bottom bolts are removed there is tension that makes it stuck there and I can't compress the strut enough to remove it from the brake assembly. Top bolt is still on keeping the compression. Any suggestions?
Big J. Beats It was probably less than $300 for the whole thing. I got budget struts off Amazon and the springs were Godspeed lowering springs that are also available on Amazon I believe.
Don't call the rear a "strut"....it's a simple "shock" (or "damper" as the English more properly call it). The front uses a MacPherson "Strut" design, that has the coil wrap around the shock-piece. The rear is not like this therefore it's not a strut. Otherwise, good tutorial. Funny.....timeline 1:30 - 1:55.... WOW.... must be a California car, little girlie tap with the hammer and finger-spin the nut off....yeah right!..... NOT if your car is from the NorthEast !!!! haha.
oh he can compress me anytime lol

What size are your wheels and tires? And how much overall drop did you get? Thanks
Would you recommend the godspeed springs and how was the ride qayility
I have 1.85" lowering springs can I use my stock struts on my 2005 Scion xB
What struts did you use?
How much did you pay for all the new parts?

How many inches lower
You know, I forgot to measure and I sold the car now. However I think it was about a 2 inch drop. It was low but not slammed.
Was the ride quality any better ?
