Coil over help

How hard would it be to install coilovers myself? If it's not too difficult I'd like to do it myself instead of taking it somewhere. I've never done it before.

It is real easy. Even if you haven't done them before, I was in the same boat once upon a time. Once you do one side, you'll end up doing the other side in half the time.

Literally two bolts at the top of the strut in each corner, then the one underneath. At the front, bolt to the fork, or rear bolt to the lower control arm. Just be careful of the rear lower control arm bolt, they're common to be seized and you may end up sheering the bolt head off, as I did. No biggie though, purchased a second hand LCA, angle grind the old one off, real easy.

Good luck!

It's very very easy when bolts don't break.

iChrist- thanks for the info bro, I'm already looking up installation guides. Can't wait to hit the streets lowered!


And my question was about sleeve coilovers, sorry for not including that detail.
