    groundforce springs???

    the ground force spring instructions are missing several steps. The missing instructions would lead you to believe that they can't be removed w/out compressing them first. you're better off taking it somewhere else!

I unlinked the sway bar, unbolted the top and bottom of the strut, but I still can't get enough clearance...

    clear corners

    to each, their own ... the clear part is clear, and the reflector is white instead of orange. other than the orange missing, they are identical to the US OEM corner lamps (indentions, visible patterns, etc).

    clear corners

    for anyone that wants the aussie corners, if you get a ticket for not having the reflector, it is not a moving violation so it wont hurt your insurance. most cops dont mess w/ accessory fines since they usually get thrown out when the person takes a picture of the vehicle /w the accessory...

    clear corners

    but @ $30 a set, you can buy 3-4 pair for the same cost and look every 2 years. after 6-8 years, even those $115 lenses will look yellowed. lens renew is $35 and can fix either lens after they yellow.
