I've been running my stock shocks and struts for nearly 3 years, they are about to go soon.

Oh yea... did you put the rubber boot at the bottom of the rear springs? It's hard to tell.
And also, you might as well be ready to tighten the top hats up front in a week or two. You'll likely start hearing a clunking noise after they settle in; just tighten the 17mm up again and you're good to go.
