Default RE: coilover install ?

its not really that hard...you will need a spring compressor which you can borrow from autozone and some socket wrenches and open ends aswell...when you jack up your car you will see that its prettly self explaintory...for the fronts you will need to pop the hood and under the hood you will see the top of the shocks you will loosen the 2 nuts on each(it will be easier to do this last so that your not fighting the shock assembly as you loosen the bottom end) and then go down and look at the shock/ spring assembly and you will see a pinch bolt where the damper fork connects to the shock...loosen that and also loosen the damper fork at the bottom and wiggle it around and it will fall down then loosen the brake lines from the shock and it will come out...then you will hhave to use the spring compressor to compress the spring and then you can take the shock cap off and take the spring out and replace with the new coil over...then reverse...for the rear its the same except no damper fork..i have a hatch so im not exactly sure how the top of the shocks are on yours...im sure its the same...there should be (in your trunk) on the wheel wells a cap just pop it off and u will see the same as the front...when you look at the shock assembly it wil be easy to see
