Uh, ok.... Not huge to me...

About the shocks, that nut at the top can be a bitch. Normally, I spray mine down with wd40 the day before I go at it. They like to rust in place. If you ahve air tools, it's a snap. WIthout, it's a bit tough at times...

The wheels look nice! :thumbup:
And don't let this shit discourage you. I can swap in new shocks and springs into a car in about an hour now. Took me a day to just do the fronts the first time I did it. It gets way easier with time, and experience.
