it origianly had tein lowering springs, and the shocks were gone!

ok so first i took off the two nuts/bolts that hold the shock itself onto the knuckle.

then the top 4 nuts

an after that, take out the strut assembly.

you can see the difference in the height . lowering spring vs coilover... hmmm

D. Gomes

dude! did you get these on craigslist?

slow_Fc3s

place the jack under the ball joint and lift up the lower control arm. you have to make up for the difference in height with the coilover.

slide the two bolts in through the coilover, at the bottom to hold it in place and align the 4 studs with the 4 holes

now go drive it and experience the night and day difference!! =)
Still amazes me why people prefer 300+hp cars on shock/springs.

You can move the allen bolts on the top mount plates so you can get more adjustment. Your gonna want to get a wheel alignment asap as well.

slow_Fc3s

yea im taking it to the alignment shop tomarrow. so far. i like it, just a lil bumpy... i wish my girl would take a ride wit her 36 D'zz... ohh man.. my car loves boobies! haha

D. Gomes

Yup! the guy with the ugly yellow and black bumble bee 7? haha
yea I was thinking about getting them but I wanted a complete set.

Good pick up though they look good!

oh its just the front? gonna be trouble man. Those things are at least over 10 years old easily. So think used struts.

slow_Fc3s

i can tell.. but i can say there better than what i had, and for about the same ride height. ill take these easily over what i had. this is until i get the money for a nice FRONT set.

about the rear.... i am 6'2 and am already not comfortable in it. so i put regular monroe shocks back there.. comforts the ***-o-meter
