so finally got a day off to install my rear eibach prokit springs, fronts have been installed for a couple weeks or so now. got past the dreaded rusted sway bolt without stripping (yay for living in colorado!) and thought i was home free. proceeded to take off the 2 19mm bolts, and snap, cheap socket broke on me and its the only one i have. good news is the bolt didnt round off much.

during


sadly no after yet because of this

wow... dont see that everyday... get some craftsman made in the USA and maybe that would do the trick cant wait to see the final pics!

any of the chain hardware stores will have a lifetime warranty on there brand name of tools.. i got mine from loews, name is kobalt, they are nice, comes in a nifty case, and lifetime "no hassle" warranty.

i banana'd a craftsman 6 point on my suspension, dont feel too bad!

pretty much what he said...craftsman, husky, etc....

you'd be surprised how many of those tools come from the same factory or same company.

doing that first thing in the morning, and will post after pics tomorrow no more cheap tools from taiwan! the ratchet in the damn socket wrench from the set has already broke too.

that figures, so whats generally considered the best? craftsman? by the way, any better place to place the jack stands. i dont like how i have them but i didnt want them resting on the sideskirts. and also, the interior trim panel over the passenger side rear strut, do i have to break that snap near the tool compartment to get it off?

Craftsman probably has the best bang for buck in tools. Their great and the warranty is awesome.

When I get some spare cash Im buying me a set of tools at Craftsman.. but for now. Im going to use my brothers tools.. and my dads cheap ass tools from 10 years ago hahaha

for the rear, you can put them right under the crossmember, one on each side.
for those high-torque bolts, impact sockets own!
