I haven't installed them recently but when I installed them it was very easy. Set the height evently on the fronts and rears (meaning same on both fronts, same on both rears) and go ahead and set the damping at 1/2 turn from full soft. The actual bolting in is very simple to do and should only take about 30-45 minutes per corner.

yes. you have to reuse the factory top hats. You need a pair of vice grips and some rubber tubing to keep the shock shaft from spinning when you put an air impact gun on the top nut. the tubing will keep the pliers from scraping the shaft up.
just use a floor jack and jack up the control arm.....then use the jack to lower out the stock struts....alot faster imo the coils go in easy and just set the coils all the way in on stock tires i was dead on camber with them all the way in and the coils to the rings...
just leave the top hat up in there....loosen sway bar ....jack up control arm and loosen middle bolt of strut then slowly lower it out then after its unloaded remove ball joint and work it loose should be able to take strut off spindle....i dont like spring compressors
you WILL want to get a full alignment done after about 100 miles of driving. Your toe will be off a good bit even if the camber is where you want it.
And there's nothing wrong with spring compressors when used correctly. Just be sure to use the dang safety hooks.
a brand new snap-on spring compressor broke on my dad ...almost lost his hand it ripped the thumb right off....he sued them and they settled out of court it was a faulty tool....ever since then i have been terrified of the things i just use the control arm when i can so if something does happen the spring is up in the car...not out and free to jump all over if a accident happens
i dont know i was 17....that was a fucking decade ago all i know is it paid off our house and my dad despite what they said at the time has 100 percent use of that hand back......like seriously snap on took the tool then after a week they said something about the metal not up to standards...but whatever i just dont like them only kind ive used are the ones we had at the dealership that bolt to the wall and have a box.....
yeah, I can see how an improperly treated stick style could fail, and I dream of having the wall mounted compressor, but luckily for us and the soft suspensions you can easily come up with a way to remove or add spring tension with the strut off the car and just having a couple friends over.
I'm lucky you gave me the link to the stage 3 instructions. How did you find it?
Is there a common link that has links to other common performance mod's "HowTo's" instructions?
