DIY: Coilovers

[whatsvtec]

Thanks Skarekrow!
Used an air hammer with a flat bit on the one that was stuck bad, other one we got out just with a pry bar

Now I'm stuck on the fronts, one side is in. But the other side tie-rod end is stuck to the nut, keeps spinning freely. I'm about ready to cut and replace the tie rod end... Any pointers?

Vice grip the ball joint with the arm. Hit with a rubber mallet/ hammer on the side of the arm that holds the tie Rod end. Anything else call me I'm driving from Mexicali to Riverside lol

quick question for who-ever might know.. i got buddy club n+ damper kit and the rear coilovers where the flange bolt goes through to hold the shock in place is offset from the middle of the shock/coilover. is this normal??? will this cause any type of problems?

take a look at the photo below.

Looks like it was intentional as part of Buddy Club's design. Shouldn't cause any problems, might perform better for whatever reason BC intended.

Hey how was the install for your buddyclub N+'s? I'm planning on getting them soon and this is going to be my first big upgrade that I am considering on doing myself. I just want to be sure that its not TOO difficult. Haha.

My shocks are blown and the springs so old that my friends asked how low am I dropped. I need to replace all my shocks and springs and decided this is the least expensive route. Just dd'ing my car. I think it should hold. We'll see... What do you guys think?
