So i been searching for the past 2 days for a DIY for a 04 G coupe and i just wanted to replace my springs w s-techs but it seems every tutorial shows shocks & springs and they all seem to b for sedans *i don't know if sedan install is the same as coupe*. Anyone happen to know a good DIY for just replacing springs. I'm getting my s-techs tomorrow and i think i'm just gonna call over a few friends and we'll get it done.. i hope.. lol but yea any help would be greatly appreciated.

thanks,

I used the DYI on the "Shock/Spring" replacement. The only diff is, use a "spring compressor" ($10 at Harbor Freight or loan from Parts house) to compress the front springs and take off the top mounting nuts (not the three that hold the bracket, the one in the middle of the braket) for the front shocks. (Piece of advice, spray some "Nut Buster" on the top shock bolts inside the engine compartment NOW. Do it every day untill you change them.) The bolts on the front shocks are the only hard part. I had trouble getting the front shocks out (2005 sedan/sport shocks) and I had to take the pivot bolt out of the lower arm to move it enough. It took me about 4 hours to change the springs and sway bars and that included the "jack up" time.
