Default Spring Installation Questions...

Hi all,

I received my Tein S Techs yesterday and am planning on installing them myself. After searching (which proved very helpful) I still have a couple things that need to be confirmed. If you could help, that would be great.

1. Installation of the front springs seem to be easier by unbolting the upper A arm, is this correct?

2. Do I need to remove the rear swaybar when doing the rears?

3. Do I have to cut the bumpstops?

I think that is about it. Thanks for any help you can provide me. I appreciate it.

2. It's proven even easier if you disconnect both endlinks. To push down the arms, using a long bar like a jack handle and leveraging from under the frame to the top of the caliper/rotor makes it easy.
