Koni Coilover Install
Hey guys, just wondering about the difficulty of a coilover system install. I think the Koni ones fit my budget, and I was wondering how hard it is to DIY. thanks for any input.

not hard if you have some help and the right tools. If you're in Socal, you should contact
Mike at Pure-Motorsport.com and talk to him 
He can get you the konis and help you install. Does great work

Not that Difficult, but I would have had problems if someone esle wasn't there...
That knew what they were doing. Also, Liquid wrench helped very much on the ball joints, and another bolt that was not going to move otherwise. I'd have it around. And do the fronts first, cuz then you are 70% there, the rears are super easy. And if you do those first you will get frustrated fast. And I think it is harder to reach some bolts on 2000 or 2001's. Mine is a 2001 and I took out the whole assembly. So my advice is to have the right tools, and someone that knows what they are doing so you know what you can and can not bang. Good Luck!!
And do yourself a favor and get it aligned afterwards, I didn't and wore the inside of my tires very fast. (Learned the hard way)

whoa! what are all the hammers for? kids? heh...
he'll also need a modified socket or the O-Ratchet from sears to take apart the fronts. Or maybe some really deep open wrenches(that didn't work for me).<ul><li><a href="http://www.newmantools.com/oratchet.htm">O-Ratchet</a></li></ul>
