Eddie, car felt good last night on the quick drive I took. Not much stiffer than my eibachs. Need to do an alignment and I am set!
About as close as I will get to my fender. Tein with koni on the bottom perch. Had to do this since my engine bay is so empty!

So...since I'm not afraid to make fun of myself...in hindsight I can say that I could probably do fronts and rears now by myself in < 2hrs.
The rears were easy.
The fronts...time to be a jack ( pun intended) ***. I pull everything off the fronts following Pure's instruction. This went well. Installing the "right side" shock was a little difficult but I eventually had it completely installed and bolted in. The "left side" was just not working. After about an hour of dicking around I discovered the "left side" actually had an R stamped into it that wasn't very noticeable. Upon checking the "right side" I discovered...your guessed it...a stamped L. Hooray!
So...unbolted everything and switched them out and bolted them in again...only to discover that on the Left Side (correct now) I had managed to move my brake line to the wrong side. So....unbolt everything again...move brake line...reinstall.
On the Right side...I couldn't get the brake line to clip in quite right. I'm border line suspicious that I may have to rotate the shock 180 degrees as despite the fact that it is facing the direction of all the other shocks that the brake line bracket should be on the other side.
Would be nice if I could find specific instructions for these to confirm or put my mind at ease!

And you are on coilovers right? Yes, I have already pulled out a fender with my old setup so I really have to be careful with this one. If I have any problems the fender roller will be in the future!

^ Damn that's a hot VR in the background, the MB isn't too shabby
Here are the obligatory night shots, and also my newly done white-lit cluster. I tried to get it to match the gauges, but I didn't get the color temps correct. I'm gonna have to get some new leds that are 6k instead of 5k like I used.

Started to dig in on my 3rd gear lockout issue. Shifter linkage is good...probably broken fork from the symptoms I'm researching on the net.
Looks like I may need to get this bullet proof before DGRR.
