Installs in general are super easy, 3 bolts at around 33ftlbs on the top, and two bolts at the bottom which technically require like 125 ftlbs I believe (impact wrench).

As far as the coilover setup...not sure bro...never used those. The directions that come with the coils should have everything you need to know in terms of install, setup, maintenance, and cautions.

well i figured out through trial and error............heard alot of noise and then found out that they wastn fully preassembled. once i got in and tightned down the spring load and pillow mount then i was good to go. its a hassle messing with the ride height though. just when you think you got it without the tires on then once you put the tires on they are off by a smigin.............was lots of fun though.

now i at least know how to do it now......
