My friend has an EG hatch. and Im gonna help him swap out his blown shocks for my stock GSR shocks. I know for DC2s the LCAs are a pain in the butt. the bolt at the bottom of the shock has a tendency to seize and not want to come out. Many people end up cutting the old shocks out.

Now can some one tell me am I to expect the same problems with the EG? would it be easier to get another set of eg/dc2 rear lcas and bolts? thereby jsut removing the existing shock and lca all together?

Are there any problems to expect in the front shocks?

My friend wants a hassle free install. one full day should be enough. he cannot afford to have any more down time on his car as it is his only means of transportation.

SOAK and drench the LCA bolts with liquid wrench the night before, multiple times.

i usally notice people have problems with the bolts when they try to take it out by hand... soak it with liquid wrench and use air tools should be cake
