The Teins?? Yeah they are. I replaced 3 or 4 sets of LCA bushings on friend's cars with S-techs in my life. The bushings suck anyways but the Teins make them fail faster.

I have energy suspension LCA bushings in both of my cars and love them. They're a PIA to install though. I got the ES ones from energysuspensionparts.com cheapest I've seen.

Go with the Prothane bushings if you want a much easier install. That's what most people here use.

The drop looks good!

Mirrors come off easily? I been thinking about doing that for some time now. Does add character to the car.

Yep, they come off easy. Did you sand the grain off them or not? I completely smoothed mine when I painted them. I also got my cans for $6.50 a piece from the dealer. Dad working there ftw :rockon:

Sorry I'm late. The drop and mirrors look great! :) I'm not too crazy about those rims though.

Did you go meet John yet?
