it's kinda hard to explain a process online. ask friends who are in your area for help.

it's a pretty simple process however. if you're good with legos, then you can probably piece it together.

but don't take the chance of trying it yourself if you do not have any knowledge of how it works.

good luck guys! and welcome to h-t

eh dz isnt great. but if you want to use them, they install the same way as springs. id recommend getting new struts to replace the stockers - the stock units wont hold the rate to long before the struts blow.

i found out that coil overs can be a pain .. but im thinkin those dropzone coil overs are meant for ur stock struts.. sometimes the sleeve of the coil over may be too big or too small for ur front struts (ground control makes the sleeve different sizes to ur preference.. i have koni yellows so i need a bigger sleeve than the one for stock struts).. but basically u can just replace the spring with the coil over just like the diy shows .. pretty straight forward .. pm me if u still have questions tho
