Thank you for the information... It is greatly appriciated. I think I will do that this weekend. Seems easy enough. But I will be extra cartful, cause to replace, they are not cheap. Lol.

That's why I'm waiting to buy a used one on Ebay. Then if I screw it up I still have my original.

I got one off of here for about $75 bucks. It even had the bump stop mod. While I didn't notice much difference. I did however notice a difference in stop and go.

The car is easy to get going. I have a manual so that was a plus for me.

Also do the coolant mod as well. Stop by a harware place and get a fitting to connect the tubes for about 2 bucks.
