Five8 Industries Installation log

Hey guys, I'll be installing my Five8 Industries coil-overs soon and I'm wondering if there would be anything specific you'd like to see or know about regarding the install.

I'll be doing this by myself with my limited tool, but I'm sure I'll be fine doing so, I already swapped the front struts with another factory set but with lowering springs pre-installed and the rear is easy peasy.

I'm willing to go as in-depth as my knowledge allows me to show anything. I won't bust out the DSLR, but I can def take good log pictures of anything specific from removal down to install and adjustment.

Hey man, love to see this. I put my five8's on less than 2 months ago and wrote a full story on the installation on the forum. If you haven't installed them yet I suggest you check it out! Good luck! Can't wait to see it, it will look awesome with this blue you've got Goin on.

So, so far this is what I've gathered in information
  • comes with adjustable end links (not specified anywhere on their product listing?)
  • need to reuse the strut mount from stock struts (not specified either?)
  • can go really low -4" or more (they told me 1-3" lower than stock is usually what can be acheivable)

you got it! try not to strip your torx bit at the top of the new strut, like I did

Everything set and done, I'm now letting it rub in the wheel wells a bit to see where I need to trim the inner fenders!

Alignment planned for next week or the one after.

looks good man, but that seems to be a concerning amount of rust? any odd noises?
