Default INStalling Skunk2 coilovers

Yo guys i just bought a set of SKUNK2 coilovers and KYB GR2 struts *yes i know they are OEM replacements* i havent messed with suspension yet so i am not knowing what to expect when i do the install

The Stock struts and springs all come out together correct?


on the Front struts the strut is slid into the Fork. does it just slide out or do i need to heat it up to get oem out and new one in? or can i just tap it with hammer and it should come lose? i see in the manual a bolt but am not sure if that is to releive pressure from the fork onto the strut or not?

when i install the coilover and new strut DO i need the damper mounting base from the top of the oem strut, to bolt it to my car? i am thinking i will but then that means i need a spring compressor to get the damper mounting base off of the stock unit
and onto the new ones. correct

i DID search many times different ways and i didnt find a how to kind of thing on doing this

i have the haynes manual and have read it, but i wanted everyone advice since there are alot of DIY out there\

Thanks guys *and gals*
Dan
