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

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?
