Default Just Got my Tein H-Techs for my 06 SI * Pics*

I am gonna install them tommorrow at work, but want to know if the front were a ***** to do for anyone with springs. Like did u have to take off the cowl to access the strut top bolts and if so does the cowl just pop off. I know the rear will be easy as they were like my old AE86, just wondering about the front. Thanks again

there are little access doors in front of where the strut mounts. Pop those out with a little flathead and your there. Car took us 1.5 hours to complete, on tein s.tech's.

Spring install is cake. Took 30 minutes to do my g/fs one with all hand tools.

Glad to see you figured it out.
