#2226, "Cyan...can you help......"


          

Ok bro...I am going with either the Maxspeeds or the skunks and opting to replace the shocks and struts in a couple of months....Heres the deal....The shop wants 125.00 to install but my best friend and I want to try to install them ourselves....Any way either you could let me know of a place I could get pretty decent step by step instructions or could you possibly have time to write some out...Any help would be greatly appreciated.... I will have some pics up as soon as the body kit is installed........

yep, he got the link for ya, i had another one but i used the vfaq too cause its a little better. $125 is actually a decent price to install all four coilovers, but it helps to do it yourself so you can do it again if you ever need to.

Install them ourselves so you know how to later on. The shop I went to only charged $80 to install them, so call some more places around you.

eclipse804 and I had fun install his skunks ourselves, good thing socali weather was kind to us, got a nice tan out of it. took some common sense. you guys will get it eventually. If any questions......ask. Look to spend about 4+ hours your first time around. It helps to have a second jack.Work on the front first because by the time you get to the rear, you'll be wipped out. .. emoji

Once you do it the first time, you'll feel a hell of alot more confident about doing it again sometime. Back's are most definitely easier than fronts too.
