Anyone want a coilover install DIY?

I know its a fairly basic install, and i know klepto did i writeup on shocks/springs, but i could include more pics for anyone that may want one?

i dunno, just let me know, i'll be doing the coilovers the night they come in, should be sometime at the end of this week

So if ur willin to do it just do it cause ull get props no matter what unless ur diy is pretty shitty.

whoa! take it easy

i just wanted to make sure someone would appreciate it cuz it'll probably take me an hour longer to install the coilovers if i'm taking detailed pics of everything, just making sure it was worth it.

lol, its no big deal. i'm glad i got coilovers instead of shocks/springs, much easier install. i've done about 3 coilover installs in the past 2 weeks, so its like second nature right now. :P

It was a pain in the ass for me. I almost cried like a lil girl because I couldnt figure out how to get the stock struts out.

BlackAck can you post the torque specs. I'm gonna need them if this Ksport Coilover GB goes through.
