Shock spring DIY?
Is there a tutorial on spring and shock installation? I couldn't find one in the resources thread maybe I'm blind but yah...thanks.
Also, If anyone wants to know heres the setup im installing next week.
KYB AGX shocks
Neuspeed Sport Springs 1.8f 1.6r
Konig Hellium in bronze
Nitto something-or-others
The wheels are comming in next tuesday, my suspension is comming in next wednesday, so I want to get the shocks and springs done on thursday, then wheels on Friday. Is 1 day for springs and shocks reasonable or no?
