crap well almost lowered it
well i put my sportlines and agxs on in the front every thing went smooth. but then i went to do the back and well to broken rachets (one was craftsman) and this
 well im pretty pissed i even went out and got an impact wrench and the stupid things still wouldnt budge (im talking about the bolt the holds the rear shock on) i guess ill have to take it to a shop and have it loosened. hope it doesnt cost to much. so after a full day of swet here is what my cat looks like

dude thats how my car was LAST WEEK!! (i too have sportlines and agx) except i had a strip strut mount.
anyways here are some suggestions try to twist it tighter instead of looser.. that can "break the seal" for the bolt to get it moving. also heating them up with a torch helps cuz it contracts the metal making the bolt smaller and move freely.

Re: crap well almost lowered it
heat it up with a torch....... heat expands metal..... heat up the bolt, and it should expand enough to loosen it up
i say leave it how you have it..... dragster style! Quote:

i busted a socket today getting my drivers side seat out..... same thing you did.
as for loosening the bolt...shouldnt charge you much/anything.... sparq n i couldnt get his lugs to loosen at all when i was trying to steal his wheels...so we went to "dunn tire" and they loosened em for us for free..... (tho we ended up going back to have em change the wheels for us)

just leave it like that. and when you get new rims just put bigger rims on the back tires.
