Suspension Install

[MrHeavyFoot]

Well,
I'm finally getting around to getting some Koni shocks to go with my H&R sports. The fronts look like a pain and require a few too many specialty tools, but I think maybe I can handle doing the rear ones myself and then I'll get a shop to do the fronts. Besides, the only way to adjust the rears is to take them out, so I may as well learn.

I read the FAQ that Peter has listed elsewhere on the site and other than the liner getting in the way, it looks fairly straight forward. Any words of advice from those that have been there/done that, special tools, etc?

Thanx.

Yeah its about a days work, if you don't try and take any shortcuts. The only tools you really need are spring compressors and a fair bit of patience. There are a few tricky bits on the front, like having to unhook the drive shaft and spreading the struts, but otherwise its not too bad.

Yeah, I think I'll get Westside Automotive do the fronts. Unhooking the driveshaft sounds like a little much for me.
