Installing HKS RS coils
 

SUp peeps, i wanted to know how difficult it will be to install these coils on my coupe. I have installed coilovers on my 04 WRX, 04 S2000, GSR, 02 Audi TT (hardest on so far) SO I am experienced. I just want to know what I might run into and it there is something I should do and shouldnt do. Like remove a control arm etc. I just dont want to make it more work then it is.thanks guys

it's not hard to do. You may or may not want to use a spring compressor
when removing the stock front struts. I used it and made it a lot easier.

You can either undo the front a-arms at the pivot or undo the one
nut where it connects to the knuckle. but if you do, you need to get
new cotter pins.

otherwise the swap is straight forward. the bolts aren't stubborn like
the WRX, i can tell you that much. hahaha. i only have hand tools and
that WRX's lower bolts were a true biatch to remove. thought I could
lift the car with my breaker bar.

And is the rear bad. Cuz the audi had the same setup when the spring and shock were sep, but the spring was such a b!tch to remove.

The rear is VERY easy. Just take out one bolt and the lower control arm swings down out of the way. Also, the strut isn't much harder to take out. I would recommend getting a spring compressor just in case you need it for the front assembly.

some people loosen the rear spring carrier alignment collar, but if you are
going to do that, make sure you mark it.

ok cool thanks guys, seems pretty simple..
