Mods Needed When Installing A Suspension

sup all,

happy new year to all. Before I put in my order for my tokico shocks and eibach springs i needed some information about the installation. I was told that when i would be installing the springs that i would need to do some modification in the process of installing the spring. if anyone is familiar with this modification an explanation would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
D-sta

If you feel like you must do this yourself, get the help of someone who has done a spring/damper instal before. Also get a Haynes/Chiltons/FS manual. They all have step-by-step instructions for installation.

Maybe they are refering to cutting (modding) ther bump stops. Don't forget to pick up new strut boots to protect your new Tokico shaft seals, even if your present boots are in decent shape. A little pm now will go a long way.
