i have no experience with suspension other than looking and holding the parts. can i install the parts myself and not mess anything up. realistically of course. also i have skunk2 camber kit. would i be better off having a shop do it or can i save the bucks and do it myself going off the info guide at the top of this forum? thank you. sorry for the rediculous question.

So you have koni yellows and GC coilover combo??
If you have basic know-how and tool handling im sure you can istall these yourself, it kinda sucks that the how-to thread at the top doesnt have any pics but just follow the instructions. The biggest problem you might run into is removing your top-hats from the oem strut to put on the koni strut.
You can also install the camber kit yourself, its 3bolts. Just make sure they are adjusted to the same length, you might have to trail and error/eyeball it with this one to get the camber angle you want.
Taking your car to an alingment rack just to be sure of your alignment settings when all said and done would be a good idea too.
You can pm me if you need more info/help

Just make sure all your bolts are tight lol

you wont learn how to do it without doing it yourself.

the how to up top is a good guide. you can also go by the helms manual as a reference.

everything is tough the first time. but its a quick learning curve.

two things to remember, make sure the bumpstop washer is on properly, thats the thick, funny shaped nickel coated thing. and jack the suspension up before tightening all your suspension bolts to save your bushings.

then finally, get an alignment done asap once you find your desired ride height, and keep in mind you must adjust the alignment after every ride height change.


Don't IM me your TECHNICAL question. Start a thread, I'll answer there.
