My Bilsteins and H&Rs will be here TODAY! I am planning on installing them tomorrow. Anyone have any advice or what to look out for.

Also if anyone has the links of the install steps that are out there, that would be great. I got a new laptop and did not transfer my bookmarks.


Thanks in Advance,

Dave

- You're going to have to take the trunk side covers off to get to the top of the rear shocks, and take notice to how much the bushing is compressed, you want yours to look the same AFTER IT'S SITTING ON THE GROUND if it isnt then just tighten/loosen accordingly.
- Have somone at least help you take the front springs out, you'll need someone holding a bar or thick/long screwdriver in the middle of the spring from the underside so if it pops out it stops by binding on the bar and not by hitting you in the face.
- If you dont have a spring compresser then all you need is one peice of metal about 4 inches long in the shape of a C to bind the spring while you decompress the jack (or raise the car lift)
- If you have any problems feel free to pm me, took me about 5 hours my first time
