Contact Michael @ Acute, John (PJINCA), RedEyeJedi or me if you need to have questions answered. We all DIY'd it not too long ago. After doing and observing the process, this is more than one person can handle. You should enlist help from at least one other person for this job. Not to mention proper tools. Welcome to the KSport family. You will love the feel of it.

Coilovers, a much more affordable option for a full coilover suspension setup

Thanks fellas for the response. I took my car today to a buddy of mine who usually does my work. I'm sure he knows how to install "coilovers" but would like to be sure that he does it correctly. I was going to send him info from this board on how to install. So a question for you guys who installed the coilovers.....is/are there any special instructions we need to know when putting this on? Like what I said, this guy should know what he is doing but he has not installed a "KSport coilovers before. Thanks everyone!! I'll share some pics once it's installed.

There's another very important tip for the rear. Make SURE you put the adjusting knobs for the struts in FIRST before you install them on to the rear. Once the struts are in, they are impossible to put in afterward.
Also, it's very tight in there and you have to remove and tighten the 3 nuts that hold the struts in place. Having the right tools will save you a lot of time. Good luck.
