ilv1004s Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 picked these babies up yesterday fresh from japan YO!! this is just a basic guide i didnt have time to take any fotos and im not god at wiring these kinda stuff so step 1 take off all the covers and such in the engine bay then undo your wheels undo the nut that connects the shocks and the lower control arm ad jack the control arm to get the sway bar bushings out all the bits i'v circled in you must undo.. and pop the hub out undo these nuts on the top of the strut tower then take the shock out an replace the OEM shocks with the new springs and reverse the order te assemble Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilv1004s Posted November 20, 2008 Author Share Posted November 20, 2008 Step 2 For the rears take out the rear interior as such loosen and take out the circled bits loosen and take out the 3 bolts that hold the shcks/hub and sway bar mounts but u only have to loosen the nut thats on the lower subframe (circled) once u have done so this will happen to get the shocks out there are 2 bolts that hold the shocks to the chassis of the car they are under a dust cover and u need to undo the 2 small nuts to access the shocks once u have taken out the cover you will see this undo the circled bolts. take out the shocks and fit th new sprins in and reverse the order for assembly and this is how my car looks right now from this height to.... This!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProjectIS Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 Nice work Ilv!! Looks HOTTT!!! B) I wonder how much its going to settle..... How much gap is there at the moment between the guard and wheel?? I guess we will see on the 25th! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProjectIS Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 Is it an even finger gap front and back?? Do you think that you will have to roll the guards or you have definately put it through its paces with no scrub!?!?!?! Like I said man, if you can post a close up pic of the wheel arch's, atleast then we will all know what type of drop to expect from the Teins ST's. Then when Cevu gets the F-sports on, we can get a reference for them as well. QQQ, can you post a close up pick of the Eibach's drop!! Thanks y'all!!!
