exactly.... plus they dont mess with suspension geometry which can cause things like death wobble and premature wear on things....

they both have advantages... I'm thankful for one that I had my body lift when working on things...so much better access... the distributor has three extra inches all around and the cps sensor would have been a bitch without it...

is not that hard to install them, just need to disconect the sway bar, spindles etc, to be able to move the lower control arm all the way down to push in the coils
