does anyone know where there is a good coilover install write up? my shop quoted me $500 to install with alignment. I think I could do it myself if i had something to reference. thanks.

 

Many use this. The tools and fronts are the same. The rears are differnt, but same process

 

thanks for the info cincy. looks a little tough though, i may just pay the shop to do it. do you know anything about these:

or do i just need to stick with a full kmac kit.

thanks.

 

I would just stick with the kmac since you know they work. The install isnt to hard if you have power tools and/or a friend that can help you that is mech inclined. If you dont have power tools, make sure you get the stuff to undo the top of the shock tower. People have even taken it to a shop where they hit it with the air gun and then drove it home slowly and then did it themselves. Also a spreader also makes life easier.

But $500 for install and aligned is what i paid when i had my last car and had lowering springs installed.

 

^ $500 for springs installed on a lancer [:-]

 

wait....LOL, that was with the eibach springs. I forgot that [:@].

but black turboed OZ with 18" OZ superleggra's and 0 wheel well gap = Very....VERY NICE.

 

almost same process for the strut bearing/bushing replacements not too hard but make sure TO USE SPRING compressors. those springs are under a lot of stress and can hurt you really really bad if they come undone.
