[QUOTE="CompO_Eric, post: 10643442, member: 104689"] I did the Coils, Shocks, dampers, panhard and camber plates on my 05 GT. Pretty simple man, but I did mine on a 2-post lift. I Adjusted the panhard to the same length as the stocker when I took it out and also did the camber plates to get the correct toe for the alignment guys... Not sure how much different the 2011 is from the 05-09 S197. I had the rear end done in about an hour.. .the front was a little harder... because my cheap spring compressor stripped its threads on the driver side damper (last one :cuss:). So I went to Pep boys and when I was checking out a new coil compressor the guy went on and on about how I shouldn't be doing this since they offer the service and how its dangerous, etc. I told him three times that I had one damper left and finally had to go off on him. Its dangerous of your stupid, but this is the third car I've lowered and its really simple when you have common sense... :-D I know his reasoning though... 20-something year old kid... long hair.... probably thought it was on a Honda.
