Coilover how-to?
Saturday, June 02, 2012 9:34 AM
i tried the search but i could not find a straight answer.

what do i need and how would i install a set of coilovers? or is it as simple as just removing my struts and putting in the coilovers?

Simple as take out old and put in new. The real process is getting the ride height set evenly and where you want it.

If you're buying a complete setup, do you really need a how-to? It's as easy as an oil change.

take top bolts out. take bottom bolts out. get alignment after. oh and make sure you put the top bolts and bottom bolts back in before the alignment.

I say unless you plan to autox or make it a track day car dont do a sleeve coilover. Coil overs adjust ride hight but also you balance the car with the hight adjustment on scales! If you want low bagg it!


see ya!
