alright so i got the driver side coil in but the bushing is still in the lca with the bolt stuck in
the passenger side bolt snapped as well and im gona have to cut that out and get a new bushing.
Im ordering the energy suspension bushings from here and i got the bolts on order at the dealer.
Hopefully everything goes well and ill post some pics soon. one last question will i be able to press these new bushings in with a c clamp?

yeah you will, to make it easier i took a wire wheel attachment for my drill and cleaned up the inside of the lca and the outside of the bushing, then warmed up the lca with a blowtorch and took a 24mm socket and a nice hammer and tapped that sucker in. Once it's it, it wont come out!

getting ready to install coils!
fronts are in went very smooth
still waiting on my lca bolt to come in and my energy suspension bushings
once they come in ill get rears on. this waiting is killing me lol
can't wait to see it dropped. You should get an R wing, or go wingless, I'm not a huge fan of the toilet seat wing iDrive a GS-R
