By myself I did it in 4 hrs!!! and it was my first coilover install! dude its easy and can be done with the DIY's here on the forum. Save yourself the money buy a spring compressor and go yank those stockies out and slam the KW's in... I love my KW V3's and for me I have found my perfect street track settings

Also, FYI for those who are swapping springs only.... you can rent spring compressors (and many other tools) from you locals parts store. In many cases, you just have to put down a deposit which you get back when you return the tool.

You don't even need to unscrew the rear top wishbones to swop the rear dampers. It is only two bolts behind the boot space and one bolt at the bottom of the leg of the shock

I swopped a rear damper last week in 20 minutes with a little leverage help from my Dad. Is this becoming a pit crew race?
