does anybody happen to have a diy for the install as i will be receiving mine in the mail within the next few days. the only one i could find is the one from GFACTOR but it is not real indepth and pictures will not show. thanks

 

Just follow the DIY for the tein flex. It's cake really. I had no issues at all installing KWv3 on my S. Just get the proper tools, and torque specs for each bolt/nut. Remember safety first.

You're welcome. Get zip ties for the brake line.

 

oh and I find it easier to install the driver rear coil over by removing the 3 nuts that hold the gas line in place behind the gas lid door. You can then move the line out of the way. Also, I would use a shop towel to clog the holes around the top mount of suspension(rears only)just in case you accidentally drop something down there.

IIRC you don't need to unbolt the upper control arms, there should be enough room for you to slide it out. But i also remember having a friend step on the knuckle to get that extra bit of little room.

Secondly you'll need spring compressors, to get the OEM top hats off for the KW's. Since they do not come with them.

For the driver's side rear where the gas filler neck is, having a flex tool will help a shit ton if you don't want to remove the bolts for it.

 

^You definitely don't need to unbolt the upper arm in the rear but up front I think it's almost necessary and it only takes an extra 5 minutes tops. Just make sure that when you do that you unbolt the ABS and brake line first and don't let the entire hub fall away enough so that the weight is hanging on those lines.

 

No need for zipties. KWs have brackets that the OE brake lines bolt to.

 

Sorry you're right, the front you will, the rear you won't.

 

You're right, I'll look at mine again. I recall seeing the bracket but, not sure if I zip tied the line bracket onto the bracket on the KW's. Fuzzy memory says the bolt I had didn't fit the KW bracket and used zip ties to hold the line to the kw bracket. Eh, I'll take a look tmrw. and see if I can find the bolt and get rid of the zip tie.
