of actual work, we spent prolly 4-5hrs on it... and also DO NOT USE A HAMMER ON THE TIE RODS! if you do, be sure u know wut ur doin, buy or rent a tool for em, we ****ed up the bolt a bit and my friend had to do some dremel work to get the nut to go back on.. other than that small problem and drilling the tokicos.. cause they're made for an 02 not 03.. it was pretty easy stuff..

it took me 2 days to install them a total of 10 hours ( on the second day i got a ride home from a hot girl at work so that was the cool part!) they are hard to install if you dont have proper tools or like they said the knowlegde/experience. i started doing it and i had to finish because a car with no suspension cant even be towed. i did a good job because after i was done i took it to a tuning shop to see if i had soomething wrong but they found everything ok the only problem i had was the clicking when turnign at low speeds but it seems thats not a big deal. now i know how to do it but unless you have the time or experience i rather pay the $60 to get them installed

#1 if you use a hammer on the tie rods put a block of wood or something under the bolt so you arnt hitting it directly

#2 Remove the carpet in the trunk to get those nasty bolts off

if I could have paid $60 to avoid the aggrivation, I would of, im sure its more like $100+ around here.. i've never heard of such a deal only $60..

also ledbelly is right the wood is a GREAT idea and would prolly work... on my 03 coupe there are braces under the panels.. u fold down the seats and there are these braces on either side they kinda make a triangle out of them and the top bar if this makes sense, take off the panels and u'll see wut i mean if u have an 03 coupe or any other one similar there are like 5 bolts holding each brace, u need to take those off to gain working space..

I was an idiot ..... I bought springs first before shocks so I had to do the install twice. I hit alot of bumps along the way ... if you need any help ill most likely be on AIM or you can just pm through here
