Once you put on your new springs, just follow these directions in reverse. You may need to compress the spring in order to put that 17mm bolt back on the top of the strut assembly, unless you have 4 strong hands. If you are installing coilovers, make sure you use the factory bearing ring! Without it you will get nasty clanging noises every time you turn. On the 2001 models, it's a plastic piece with grease on it, on the 2002-2003 models it will be a metal ring attached to the spring cap. Careful when prying it off the cap or you'll open it up and release the ball bearings inside.

I used the diy, but the part above doesn't tell me someones personal experience with these springs. I've looked through the thread and several people mention skunk2 install requires cutting which isn't in the diy. Just looking for help not a troll.

u mean cutting the bump stops? it should say how much is needed to cut in the papers that came with the springs which u dont actually need to do depending on the drop. other than that there isnt anything u need to cut if you are just installing springs

Backs are already in. The front is pretty damn far from meeting up and i don't want to pull too hard on the control arm to get the assembly in place. For the backs i had to have someone stand on the drum to fit the assembly in.

Had to unhook the strut bar to get the disc to drop down. That wasn't in the DIY and you can't use common sense when you don't know what you are doing. SEARCH failed me this time sorry.
