You don't really need that tool...just get a set of allens with that size.

Oh and these are just a straight swap out. The CS come with a fully assembled front strut so you just remove the old and put the new in. The rear is also a straight swap.

The instruction manual isnt going to help you at all... like Chris said.. unbolt the stock, bolt up the CS.. easy as that.

Sorry, no instruction manual. I'm sure there is a DIY on the boards somewhere on installing springs/coilovers.

if it takes them 4-5 hours to install a set of coilovers at a shop with a lift and power tools then they are completely incompetent. It takes me 90 minutes with one jack and a set of hand tools. Took me a little over an hour the very first time i installed springs on my G with a lift and power tools at my shop. Shouldnt cost more than $200 for a shop to install coilovers, and that includes adjusting the height to your preference afterward.

i used to do spring installs and camber kit installs for $40! that was back in the day when my shop was SUPER slow and i'd have people come in whenever. My manager NEVER found out about it, haha!

Now, the last 3 installs i've done, people have given me $40-$80 on top of what i told them i'd charge them.
