The Haynes manual has a step-by-step pictorial on strut removal, I strongly recommend getting one of those at your local auto shop if you don't already have one. Putting coilovers in would be largely the same as the stock setup, at least as far as attaching them to the car goes.

Re: Coilovers DIY?

What about thoes 50 dollar Coil Overs on ebay:$? "Just like OEM" ?

i honestly doubt it but will it hurt to help with a minor drop of about an 1" also adds a lil flavour to the wheel well area?

Re: Coilovers DIY?

Again, it's kind of a case of "You get what you pay for." From what I've seen, those things usually give a harsh ride or just plain old don't last. Or both. In my opinion, suspension isn't something you want to skimp on. Your car operates entirely on grip on the ground, right? Well, your suspension regulates how strong that grip is. Just logic.
