I personally want to DIY...but I need supervision just cuz this will be my first time. If this was my audi i'd do it today after work cuz i did it so many times.

If not, where's a good place for it? I'm in the NOVA area. Thanks guys.

DIY.

 

Having never changed anything but oil on my previous vehicles, I can tell you that it is relatively easy. There are a couple of threads in UTH that can walk you through it. Search is yo' friend.

I now have changed diffs, transaxles(driveshafts, according to Honda), rotors, brake lines, calipers, all fluids, fiberglassed directly to my car, CAI, etc. Buy yourself a Helm manual if you enjoy doing the work yourself.

 

ok...found the post about the install. I think i can do it. But do you guys know the tq spec for the top shock mount bolts?

 

I'm at work, so no, I don't have it off the top of my head. For some reason #2 ft/lbs rings a bell, but then again so does 6x ft/lbs.

 

FAQ in UTH:Technical

 

if you got full coilovers this is a very very simple install... should take you about 2 hours or so... and you will need a helping hand for a couple of things...

 

It will take you more than two hours. There's the time to break the lugs, jack the car up, remove the wheels, remove the stock setup, etc.

BTW, if you are not nimble-of-hand, you may want to remove the gas filler tube from its current position. I believe it is three 8mm nuts at the tube's opening and one 10mm or 12mm bolt behind the trunkliner carpet. Then muscle it out and tie it off to the trunk springs.

 

If you need any help i will be more than happy to lend you a hand. I installed my lowering springs and jsut installed lowering springs on my friends scion Tc. I have a boat load of tools at my place including air tools. lemme know if u want any help.

 

You used air tools to put on your X brace huh?
