I try to turn the nut off but the tower thing that has the 3 bolts that stick up spins as well, extreamly hard to hold on to it while turing the nut, the strut spins as well, did anyone run into this, how did u do it thanks Brian

Ok thanks

Edit: had my dad hold the sliver part of the strut with a wrench really hard and I used a socket to get it off, everything is put on and it didnt seem to lower it as much as thought but Ill have to see it in daylight, still a little body rool but almost no dive or squat, still a little soft

It'll take some time to settle out. When I put on my B&G springs and KYB GRII struts I didn't notice anything right away. But after 3 or 4 days the car was still getting a little lower each day. I love the look of them now.

Be patient you'll see what I mean. Hell measure it now and then again in two days. I'll bet you'll see a difference.

Oh yeah, they're gettin' lower. I'll be you lose another 1/4 + until they finally settle. Ride height does look good now though.
