The spring and strut installation is pretty straightforward. The only thing that was hard for me was to get the damn bolts off. Be sure to get some wd40 on them to loosen them up. Also u will have to use a dremel to grind the perch on the front struts because the gc sleeves won't go over them if you don't grind it. Also use some spiral wrap on the first few coils on the top and bottome of the springs so they won't make noises when they are being compounded when u hit bumps. U can purchase the spiral wraps from radio shack. Hope this helps.

Thanks this helped alot. So far I only got the front shocks/spring in, didn't have time to do the rear cause the bolts were a biach to take off. The front is dropped 3 inches. I love the way the car handles, it feels like a totally different car. Hopefully today I will finish the rear if not by tomorrow for sure. However, the front is dropped to low, I'm scrapping alot. After I get the rear in I will drop 2 inches all around. There is no noise or anything in the front so far, so everything is going smoothly....
