it was the hardest thing i've ever tried to do, but I ended up in buying a bunch load of tools, even including and impact gun and yet I still failed... and I've helped friends install coilovers before, I mean this was 6 hours of work with some experience with 3 people, and we only managed to get 1 spring on w/out the bushings on and thats how my car is left tnow until I bring it to the shop this Saturday haha

I hope this didn't scare you.

Oh yeah, I also got pwned because I striped my trunk and came home like that and my mom saw haha, she got mad

1 more thing, if you try this, make sure you have the correct tools and equipment, i wanted to cry so bad that night...

uhhh.... you should've waited.... i could've helped...

the tC is a whole new level... installing something like springs on another car is nothing compared to doing it for a tC if you don't know what you're getting yourself into.

opps i read it wrong, well if its the tein basics, it should be easier, I would think the most difficult part is aligning the strut with the top hat, I know with stock struts and s-techs for me it was like impossible, anyways you should read the whole DIY before you attempt it to get a sense if you can do it or not.

Compared to stock? Definately! Nothing that you can't get used to though.
