Can anyone help me install/guide me through a basic coilover install? I don't have a place to do it so it'd need to be at your pad or somewhere you know. I just picked up some Function and Form Type-2's from another S owner in SD and I've never installed suspension before and I don't have the tools for it either.

I'll pay you too. I'm just trying to avoid paying labor charges at a shop. Cheap me.

*edit!

- Forgot to add that if someone can just point me in the direction of a good DIY I can probably try and do this myself.

*Also, is there anyway to put these coilovers back to factory settings? I.e. - how they came from F&F so that I can tweak them to my preferences?

a couple of important things they left out was make sure you get an alignment after and to get the most out of ur purchase, corner balancing.

 

Thanks bud. I can't seem to crack the 17mm bolt at the bottom of the strut though. It's killing me. lol

Any tips on how I can reset my coils back to factory settings so that I can adjust them for my own liking?

 

Wd 40 the hell outta and let it sit for 10-15 min. Then if ya have some type of tube to place over ur tool to give u more tourqe to break it loose. As far as factor settings...got me???

 

Just use a breaker bar for the bottom bolt and as far as adjusting for your liking your gonna have play with them and see what works for you.

Make sure you get a torque wrench when you put everything back. I used a diy guide on here they had the torque specs on there.

air tools...

 

Air tools cuts down on the amount of curse words you'll spit out, but its pretty gratifying doing it all with basic hand tools.

Did you get these coilovers from Abe?
