krazyazn....i dont necessarily know where flint mica was but i definitely told you to check the clearnce on your endlinks many times...
and dqlostsoulz,
some hints-
-on the rear only loosen the front side of the lower bolt...the back side has notches that keep it in place ...then undo the top bolts....the front is the same way but i cant see,=m to remember which side has the notches
-also undo the rear sway bar it makes everything way easier...
-having a helper is beyond helpful also...me and my friend can take them off adjust them and reinstall in a VERY short time now...
-the lower mounting bolts are TIGHT make sure you have a breaker/cheater bar...
-have some zip ties for the front so that you can zip-tie the caliper while you install the coil-over....DO NOT let it hang by the brake line.
if i think of any other tips ill let you know....but i would probably set aside 3-4 hours for this just incase....and also dont forget to think about your jack possibly not being short enough to get out from under the car once it is slammed...

blackcherry07, Thank you very much
if you remember anything eles that can help let me know. I wish you were here to give me a hand seems like you got it down.
no problem
-um i think the front lower suspension bolts are 7/8 and the rears 3/4...use quality socket as the suspension bolts are so tight that i broke a cheap socket
-check your endlink clearance with the car in the air by turning from lock to lock...and then on the ground. THis should help you avoid the problem krazyazn had.
-the rear has to be wiggled out and once you get it in the air you will see a large empty space to slide it into then slide it down out of the top and it will come out...
-for removing the fronts and rears loosen the bottom bolts completely but leave them slid into the holes...then take the top nuts off....then slide your bolt out of the lower mounts and remove....reverse for install...
-for dampening leave at soft and see if you like...then go to hard and see if you like....then adjust from there
when are you planning on installing???
