ok, so I'm wanting to install my coilovers today but I'm not exactly sure how. Would anyone be able to come over and help me? The earlier the better.
and can you tell me the main parts of doing this or a good link.

id recommend taking your struts off and taking them to a shop to have the stock springs removed, its not worth it comming apart and busting you in the face, those springs are under pressure, the new coil over springs wont be though

I did my suspension and it was a walk in the park, worst part was uncompressing the old spring...scared the crap outa me. If you need anymore help you know my number.

Yeah decompressing the springs and taking off the spring compressor is the biggest bitch of it all. Watch out for rusted bolts, those are a big pain in the ass. Be prepared to break some in the rear, i had to drill out two haha. If you need any help homie hit me up, ive done my suspension way too many times.

good. you *should* upgrade the struts when you do it too, or you will probably blow out your oem ones pretty quick. plus, I still have the spring compressor that I 'rented' from autozone (the reciept disappeared into my garage, so I guess I own it now) I'll lend you that one

Not true you notice when you rent one of those from the zone they take your name and phone number, as long as you take it back with in 3 months after renting it you can get your cash back....Me and holeinmyb7 worked at the zone together for a good while.
