I am going to change out my stock shocks and springs tomorrow for Bilsteins and Tein s-techs. I'm a little worried after reading about the trouble one fellow had in the FAQ. Can anyone commenton the follow up paragraph that says the following:
"He suggested to loosen the 3 bolts on the top of the shock first. The second time he described it, he said to just remove them. Then, when you raise the car, the suspension can really travel. This lets the shock hang in their loose at the top end and reduces any force on the sock due to the hanging suspension. Then, he said to remove the lower bolt (which holds the bottom of the shock to the U where the bolt attaches.) Then, he said to remove another bolt that holds the U to the A-arm. This will allow the shock to come out (possibly with the U) without any fuss."
Does this work?
