Thanks man. I will ask my roomie if I can borrow a jack and a couple stands. I am super excited to get those struts/springs installed, but I have not worked out a final price from the person selling them yet. Hopefully know for sure tonight.

I will leave the battery behind. Its heavy.

May also want to bring a couple trash bags for recycling and trash (hugs a tree).

Anywho, yes, please bring a jack and two stands, two jacks if you can. lol.


Oh, and no, a few days isn't going to tear up your tires unless your alignment is unbelievably off (like when I lowered my GTI, and I had to turn the steering wheel a 1/4 turn to the left to drive straight).
Hmm sounds like I might be able to put it off for a month at least. The Alignment on my 5 year old Yaris has never been adjusted and it is still dead on perfect as far as I can tell.

hahaha, yeah, but once you lower it, you'll have to change your driving style a bit. If you don't already, you'll have to avoid all pot holes and imperfections on the freeways if possible. Otherwise, like what happened to me, your alignment will get messed up. However, you can go to Firestone and get their lifetime warranty. It's $180, but you can get your alignment done four times a year for life. lol.
