or does any1 know how to do

is it easy?

looks pretty simple but i dont know where to attack it from

any help will b appreciated

[Mr GTS4]

it's really quite simple..

1 - jack the car up

2 - take wheel off

3 - loosen top bolts in engine bay ( for front pair, rear ones or in the boot )

4 - take off bolt on the bottom of the strut

5 - take the bolts off the top completly

6 - bob's your uncle its off.

7 - with the rear they take abit of movement/hitting to get them off the bottom support thing.

hope that helps ya

That will get the shock and spring assembly out but to get the springs off the shocks ( eg keep the springs but replace the shocks ) you will need a spring compressor and need to be a bit carefull.

Also, if you are changing the springs to different shocks you should roughly estimate the location of the strut tops to they lower mounts so the slot straight back in.

Have fun

Disconnect brake lines as well when you remove the strut assembly?

i am changine the shocks and the springs together..

putting adjustables in my car

[Mr GTS4]

you don't have to disconnect the brake line. i hate spring compressors when you don't have a air tool to use

As long as you have a bunch of spanners and sockets it's easy as. 19's 17's 14's. I'm pretty sure these are the only ones. Can't really remember. If you have an hassles just PM me and I can walk you through any problems.
