where do you live? If you in central PA i can do them for ya..... if not......


1. Put car up on jackstands (level ground for safty)
2. remove the lower control arm bolts that hold the shocks inplace
3. remove the top two bolts that are found under the hood and in the rear trunk...
4. turn the stock shocks and they should slide right on out no problems
5. Compress aftermarket springs onto new shocks and slap them in and put bolts on and tightn up....

Very easy process... I've done it so many times, if i have all the parts there and ready i can do a complete spring/shock change over in about 20-25 minutes tops.

If you've never done it before, expect your first tire to take about 1-2 hrs, and about 30 mins each for the remaining three tires.

lol That is a bit slow. Should take 10. Lift the front then the back. Doing each corner seperatly would take too long.
