Does anyone know of any guides for xb2 coilover install?
Just got my Ksport Pro coilovers today for good price. I will be planning to install it myself this weekend, if it's not to difficult.

I just need to know what tools will be required... and what errors I should avoid
If no diy guide available maybe I can make one during my install.[/img]

 

no install guides i know of
one thing i accidentally did was install the front struts on opposite sides with camber plate facing front to back instead side to side

for first time doing anything like this was not that hard just take a while

goodluck

 

I just finished installing the front set. Now I'm having a hard time removing the rear shocks. I can't get the nut thats on the top to come off.. all it does it just keep spinning!

 

you have to use a wrench and stick a allen wrench inside to prevent spinning

woulda responded sooner but was working

 

Install is simple. Just do not install the front damper adjusters. They don't fit under the tray thing.

hehe. my ksport setup looks a little different from everyone elses

 

I didn't have a wrench that size to get the bolt off the rear shocks. So I'll just ride with the stock shocks until i have time to remove them. It will probably take like 15mins to swap out.

The install was really easy I could of finished alot faster if ksport included better "instructions". The paper work they included was unreadable. Took me some time to figure out how to tighten the part that connects to the sway bar endlinks.
They should of made that part one piece with the bottom part. Instead of having me guess which angle to put it.

I also wasted time taking the plastic window wiper area off expecting direct access to front strut upper nuts. Total FAIL there because under that its just the cars metal. So i had to put everything back together to go buy a wrench that was long enough.

So after 4hrs and 5 beers I was proud of myself for not breaking my new car. This was my first time installing any suspension part.
I took some random picture and guess i can make it a DIY guide later.

 

Blah blah blah blah.

Pics. :D

 

Vegan is right - pics or it didnt happen...

 

i know what you mean by the weak install instructions.. i did a install on a tC and i dont even think they included instructions...

well mr. stylis posted some pics on scikotics that makes me slightly jealous

 

Said link? I still think I'll go with the ES struts, though...

 

PMed.. ill let mr grant post up when he feels like.. i know youre on vipstylecars so i think he would approve

plus i cant even post the link cause its our chapter section and thats private unless youre registered with scikotics..

 

I'm registered on the Scikotics. There's a chapter out here and the guy kept trying to badger everyone in the UtahScions to join. I'm not joining because I'm in a minitruck club. I'd rather be apart of a large minitruck club known to be THE lowest rather than just another Scion club.

That's just me, though. :D

 

whats the difference between the pro and the reg ksports besides the price? and which is better for autoxx

 

Let me wash my POS first.

Ho ho ho, but does it dump LOW!

 

threadjack FTL!

hey teknagen post some pics!! i want to see some install pics it makes me happy inside cause id rather be working on a car than on these lame sauce computers

 

Here u go miketf1. Heres Jack installing a bullet in Ronald.

No pics soon and ill have to call Jack on this post

 

I only took couple pictures during the install! So I know how to put everything correctly if i messed up. I will take more pictures when I swap out the rear shocks... and make a guide.


rear

The strut part that connects to sway bar endlink was installed wrong first time. It was like 2 inches to low.

Dampening adjuster hits this metal part. I made a little space with crowbar

 

Me thinks you can go lower. :D

 

jesus what camera are you using the last two shots are making me trip out..

 

My dd height on my air is lower!

Nice pix btw.
