Great price. Do they come fully assembled or are the shocks and springs need putting together :?:
Back to having no money, damn my obsession.

Began installing them late last night, about to get back into it. Not too hard of a job, helps to have another set of hands.

Rvlovell: The ones i got are pre-assembled, however you do need to use the upper mounts from your old shocks, which means i have to use a spring compressor on the old spring, take off the mount, then put it on the teins. Knowing this i may have just spent the extra for the tein upper mounts as i would save a fair bit of time and hassle during the install.

Just completed the install about an hour ago. Seems all good, need an alignment though haha. No real dramas, i'm pretty shocked at how easy it was even with the removal of the old strut tops from the standard shocks.
