actually installing drag springs are really easy for me,i just drop the control arm and leave the strut connected,installed the spring angle it right and jack the control arm up while someone maneuvers the control arm in. Took me 15mins on each side.

Make sure you adjust the rear shoes. If they are too loose it will feel spongy.

Are you having good luck with the Sony? I used to love them then they had turned to crap so my shop stopped selling them. That was 5 years ago though. Hows the sound and quality on it?
