Posted by bunkey_clipse, Jun-02-05 08:59 AM
i read somewhere that this was a pretty easy diy install.

is this true?
i wanted to try to install them on my own but i really don't know what i'm doing.

anybody have some tips and tricks for me??

1) take the lid off your garbage can
2) take the springs out of the box
3) recycle the box at your local recycler
4) throw everything left into the garbage
5) buy Skunk2s or Ground Controls if you care about your car and the safety and comfort of you and your passengers

jk I thought they were sleeve type coilovers

you can follow the same directions on the 2GNT main page, but ignore all the stuff to do with putting the coilover and shock together. otherwise, it progresses much the same way.

Why? If he bought the NEX FULL Coilovers, then they are far superior to Skunk2 or Ground Control SLEEVE coilovers. So please disregard his statement if you are talking about the Full Coilover system. And to answer your question, No they are not hard to install at all.
* But if your talking about NEX SLEEVE coilovers then Bumpin is right. :)
