Hey,

I'm sure there's a thread out there. Does anyone have a link to DIY on how to install Tein Coilovers?

Cheers!

Replace with aftermarket spring shock unit

Replace the 2 strut top nuts

Replace the bottom shock mount nut

Replace wheel

Repeat 3 times

Have a beer or twenty

Pretty much a waste of time, unless you fit some form of camber adjustment at the same time.

Thanks heaps mate,

I knew it'd be easy but just wanted to get a heads up. Do i need any spring compressors for the front springs. Or do they just come out as one unit? I've changed springs and shocks before but only on holdens.

thanks dude

Nope, you remove the whole spring shock units at once.
