Tools Needed:
Jack & Stands
12mm Socket
14MM Socket
17MM Socket
Ratchet
3” Extension
17MM Boxed End Wrench

Jack the desired side of the vehicle up until the tire is off the ground. We did this with both sides of the front in the air. Then, when done with the front, we did both rears. Then put your jack stands in the proper spot according to your vehicle’s owners manual. Once securely supported on stands, remove the wheel(s) that are in the air.

FRONT:

Removal:

1. Remove the 2 12MM bolts securing the brake line to the strut assembly.

2. Remove the 14MM bolt holding the strut body to the lower fork.

3. Remove the 17MM bolt/nut combo securing the lower strut fork to the lower control arm. Separate the lower fork from the strut body at this time. Just let the fork hang out for a little while, until you complete the re-install of the coilover on this side.

4. Remove the 2 14MM nuts on the strut tower holding the top hat to the body. And, gently remove the stock assembly from the car. Be careful not to get it tangled with the brake line and cause punctures.

Installation:

1. Slide the top hat bolts in the existing holes in the strut tower. While holding in place, finger tighten the 2 14MM nuts to hold it in place temporarily.

2. Slide the lower fork back onto the bottom of the strut assembly. Reinsert and tighten the 14MM nut to hold the fork in place.

3. Slide the 17MM bolt back through the lower fork/control arm and put the 17MM nut back on and tighten.

4. Reinstall the brake line onto the strut body in factory fashion using the existing 12MM bolts.

5. You may now tighten the 2 14MM nuts on the top hats.

6. Once the installation process is completed for both sides, reinstall the wheels and set the front of the car on the ground.

REAR:

Removal:

1. Remove the 2 14MM nuts from the top of the strut. These are located inside the trunk behind the driver and passenger side carpet.

2. With the rear of the car in the air. Remove the inner most control arm bolt (14MM) from the sub frame.

3. Remove the 14mm bolt from the bottom of the strut connecting it to the control arm. Be careful as these bolts have a tendency to break.

4. Let the control arm swing down while holding the strut from falling. The spring/strut combo can now be removed from the car.

Installation:

1. Once the strut is removed from the car you can now install the coil over in its place. Hold it in place by having a friend finger tighten the 2 14MM nuts on the top of the strut inside the trunk.

2. This is where you can swing the control arm up and run your 14MM bolt back through the strut fork and control arm.

3. Align the inner bolt up with the holes in the sub frame. These bolts are pointed for ease of alignment once in the hole. Just use a bit of pressure once in the hole to get it started.
