i'm doing my tein flex installation now. i'm a little confused now that i've taken off the stock setup. do i need to reuse anything from the stock one or can i just start putting it on now? do i need the black bushing on the top of the stock one?

so i don't need this stupid spring compressor that i waited 5 hours to borrow?

no not on installing coilovers. Only time you need a spring compressor is when you installing new springs on oem shocks. Coilovers have everything all put together so all u need to do it pull out old setup and install the new setup. So put em on already!! lol

yeah, just put em on.. make sure all 4 corners up in air tho cause the sway bar kinda works against u.

goodluck on install.. it took me like 30 mins, its not bad at all.

how hard is it to install? any DIY thread with pics for this? do you need an alighment or camber adjustment afterward?

rijowysock

of course u need align once u adjust height to liking and have it settle.

install:

--take off wheels
--undo top front control arm
--bottom bolt undo
--remove oem
--put tein
--bolt on bottom, brake line, top bolts

--back is 2 bolts on top. 1 on bottom.
