I got my new set of Buddy Clubs. Thought about Apexi EXV and maybe even Endless but I got them wholesale. So now my JIC SF1's are for sale and I need to remove and box them. I know there's a long hard way and a short easy way. Can someone please tell me the short cuts so I can get this done tomorrow morning.

Do I need to remove the sway bar or just loosen it? Do I have to remove the upper part of the wishbone? What about the rears? Anybody ...anyone, Beuler?

Bro, make sure you check your spring preloads on the coilovers prior to installing them. Make sure you can grip the spring and rotate it. It should be rotatable, you won't want to preload the spring much at all if you're a street car and esp on socal freeways. Make sure preload feels the same on all four corners.

Secondly, install the coils, remove the upper A arm in the front like your post indicates. That's critical or you will scratch your coils trying to squeeze them in there.

Thirdly, get them bolted into the car/don't set ride height at all on the first round. Once installed put the car on the ground, release the ebrake, roll the car forward and back to get it settled or even drive it around the block.

Fourthly, once you've got the suspension settled take your baseline "ride height" measurements. The calculate the difference between this ride height and your desired ride height. Once you have those values you can put the car back up in the air, and adjust the lower brackets EXACTLY to those values on each corner. To lower the car you raise the lower bracket, to raise the car you lower the bracket to increase distance between mounting points.

Hope this all makes sense and you can visualize it.

Let me know if you have any problems. Would have been great to get you some Zeals, maybe next time. It's good you don't have those JIC's anymore, buckets of problems. lolz.

^ thanks Rishie!

Yeah, if I didn't blow my brand new engine I would have got the B6 with the X coils and an endless brake kit but i'm lucky I got Buddy Club stuff wholesale. I hope I can make it to Sevenstock without towing it there "lol".
