Whats up - I am in need of new shocks, my old tokico's are going bad (3+ years old) and the ride is starting to hop around - I found some HP's for 265 shipped (I think that is a good price) but I want to install the shocks myself - anyone know where I can find any instructions for this? Thanks.

 

Shouldnt be to difficult for you to do since you wont have to compress the springs when you remove the shock.

Its pretty simple to do, let me look up some instructions and ill post em.

 

Yeah - that is what I was expewcting - but I since I haven't done it before I would like to have something in front of me while I do it....but I don't expect it to be very hard, thanks man - much appriciated.

 

The spring/shock will shoot apart (atleast in the front, didnt in the back for me) if you're not careful.

 

Will they still shoot off? Since it is already lowered I figured they would not shoot off at all...

 

They will shoot off from the spring being compressed when the bolt was tightened down. If you have access to air tools then it will be a piece of cake. If you dont then you might want a spring compressor.

 

I think my springs are too small to stay compressed once I raise jack up the car though....it has been awhile since i looked so I may be wrong...but that is what I thought....

 

They'll still be compressed from the upper mount plate being tightened down on it. The fronts will for sure, my back ones didn't like I stated before. The front springs are a lot stronger than the back because it must support the weight of the car plus the drivetrain.

 

yes both front ones are compress, i have killed a living creature, i just didnt know the front ones were compress.

 

killed a living creature?....I saw that picture.
Poor Dragon Fly.

Instead of driving around you couldof jumped on the back of that fly and had him take you around town.

That shit was as big as a horse.
