22921, Can I install my coilovers by myself?
Posted by Blizare, Mar-10-04 11:04 AM
I just got some coilover from a member and they are hooked up to existing struts so all I have to do is bolt them in. I did search for some sort of writup but I wanna know approx how hard it is and if I need my dads help?

You can do it and it isn't a PITA but for your first time it may take longer than 30 minutes. The rears are cake

Oh it will take a lonng fucking time if you have a manuel spring compressor.

If you have power tools then you will get it done really quick.
