how long on average would it take to remove and replace the suspension on an FD??

i have access to almost any tool imaginable, except a damn pilot bearing removal tool(not necessary here), a garage and lift.



i wanna try out the extra suspension that came with the car. hoping its not that rough a ride....

as long as the stupid bolts arent frozen on there it shouldnt be hard at all. vspecpgt and i did ours in like an hour...eating food and generally just messing around. okay actually he did most of the work...we did it with simple hand tools i had laying around...aircompressor was at my office and we were to lazy to drive over there.

the rear is 20 min. 3 bolts at the top, 1 at the bottom. Super easy.



The front is a little morte time consuming. 3 bolts at the top, 2 at the bottom, unbolt the abs and brake line brackets from the strut, AND disconnect the upper control arm from the chassis. You can do it without unbolting the arm, but it's a royal bitch.

Took me around 3 hours to swap springs.

It shouldn't be difficult at all...........what type of suspension is on the car now treceb

it currently supposedly has hks hipermax. but want to see what the ride is like with springs and illuminas.

leave in the hipermax coilovers!!!! trust me!

yup what vosko said....... and you can give me the springs and shocks https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png
