What happened to all the picture links? Could you please fix the picture links so that I can visualize all of the steps?

:tup: used this last night for tq specs with my koni-eibach install.


Didn't find the drivers rear to be that much of a problem, flex head ratchet w/ swivel on ratchet side, 3 inch extension w/ deep well 14mm did the trick in no time (took the strut bar out didn't touch the filler neck) rest of the install was a breeze!

Does anyone have pictures of how their car sits with Tein's recommended ride height(which is 1") drop?

Thanks for this write-up. It made installing my D2 coilovers very straight forward. I did disconnect the filler neck and I took out the swaybar. It took a couple of hours, mainly because I didn't have anyone to help with depressing the suspension to get the old shocks out, except my 9 year old kid who weighs like 50lbs! LOL. Thanks again for taking the time to put this together!

I was just curious. Does anybody know what is the reason to load the suspension when torquing down the bolts?
