Lol ok fine, i gave it away with those two colors. But seriously, can anyone help?

pull old suspension out and put new stuff in lol the back seat has to come out to get at the top nuts, other than that, just follow wht nuts need to be taken off according to where the shock/strut is. it is really simple.

it took me about 3 hours to do all 4 corners and im no pro, it took another 3 hours to tweak them to fit my tall ass tires haha

Dude, tony....you do know that us Houston people know how to install coils.
why not ask us first?!?!?!!?

I have a garage, tools, a shop for compressing the springs if needed, a floor jack, etc.
plus, we have a great group of friends that love to help.

I've helped with 3 or 4 spring/coil installs. including my own.

Now how would I take out the back seats?

Ahha I was gonna do it with my homeboys today or tmmrw but If you can help than that's cool too. I want them on by today or tmmrw though. Idk if you have time.

I guess you don't need all the spring replacement bits, but the shock removal and re-install parts should be helpful.

DON'T forget to tighten the suspension under load where indicated. Also lifting/lowering the suspension a little can make pulling the shock/spring out (and replacing) easier.

there are 2 bolts that you have to dig for in between the 2 seats, take em out then take out the seat and youll see the strut mounts at the top.

temp. setup.

I think he's raising the front a little.

LOL im gonna raise the front up in the morning. Let my sis drive the car and she did pretty good actually, scraped only a few times.

Justin, got any more pics? PM all the pics you got

Don't raise it! Trim your liners and lower the rears. You'll probably just end up lowering it again anyway.

I know im lowering it later on but as of right now, thats not the best option for me. So ill raise it up a little and ride like that for a bit.

Took longer for me to work on my own cause i only have a hand crank jack -__-. But i finally finished. Here's how she sits.

yeedatoy

You're going to die using that jack! Pep boys or NAPA has a deal right now for a $10 2 ton floor jack...cant remember which one though.

I had a jack but i was lifting a car up and some ball shot out and hit the wall.. oil was everywhere.

Yea doesnt scrape as much anymore lol. You can barely see it! Itll be too fast to see on the road
