Springs/Shocks/Struts are being installed today by Garage SPL in Seattle.

I have a large speaker box in my trunk bolted to the rear seat.

Do I need to remove it? Or is the install all done outside of the trunk?

A how2 link would also be helpful.

Thanks,

the interior trunk lining has to be removed to get to the rear suspension. i would take the box out.

 

Yeah, what Nicky Boi said.

I would remove everything from your trunk as they must pull the liner out of the trunk.

 

Read this thread before you do the job, there is some good info here that might help you out.

iansw: what shocks/springs/struts did you get installed? I need to have my KYB AGXs installed soon

 

It's all done now.

I had to pull the speaker box out of the trunk to do it, and now that it's back in there, my stereo isn't working.

The remote and/or power wire must have come disconnected from the fuse box hidden behind the box, which is now bolted back in.

No big deal, I'll deal with it tomorrow. Just need to find the broken link.

I got Sprints and Tokicos.

I bought the Tokicos without researching enough, and am now hearing bad things about them. Although the ride is just fine.

I'm scraping on driveways, however. Anyone know any good techniques to avoid scraping, and what scraping does to the car???

I'll have pics in a few days.

Thanks,

Also, I posted awhile ago about Garage SPL's lousy service.

Turns out I was completely wrong.

Good pricing, knowledgable, and very nice (plus they have a PlayStation you can play while you wait for your car to get done!).

I completely reccommend them now, It turns out I was wrong.

$153 with Tax to install springs and shocks/struts.

They kick azz!
