Default Coil Over Install Today....

So I'll finally be installing my H&R Coilovers tonight. T-Minus 4 hours.

Any tips? <---- ANY advice is cool.

Start at front or back? How long should i take?

It goes muchfaster if you use an impact gun to compress the old coilsprings. No sure how long it's going to take you...

Start at the front, it took me and two friends 7 hours from start to finish to swap out his shocks and springs... so it should be something like that.

Plus 1 on the impact gun for the spring compressors. compressing the springs takes longer than the whole job for the rears. Its easy once you get going. jus use alot of penetrant before you start. good luck
