Alright i'm about to buy some coilovers for my 2001 2.8 and I was wondering if any of you have tackled the installation of them... Any tips or know how would be appreciated...

Thank you I appreciate it greatly...

 

Hopping onto the coilover installation bandwagon here.........suggestions on kits? Ive been looking at the KW Variant 1 Coilover Sets.

 

I have installed several setups. Don't follow the audiworld write up for the front. You don't need to remove the pinch bolt on a B5.

Remove the plastic plugs in the engine compartment. loosen the 2 bolts under the plugs almost all the way. Disconnect the sway bar on both sides. Remove the bolt at the bottom of the shock that coonects it to the lower control. Pull the shock fork out and away from the lower control arm so that the lower control arm is no longer between the fork. Then remove the 2 bolts that you loosened and remove the shock.
