Nice vid!
When i did my install last month, i took both fronts out, brought them to a local garage to take the springs off and put them on the Koni's.....$25.00.
Another little trick is to make sure you mark the location of your rear springs on the axle when removing them, may avoid different heights on rear end.

I know what you mean! I stood there watched and helped alittle. Biggest thing was to make sure the front adjuster on the shock was in a place you you can get at and the spring was turned to maximize accessability.

Yeah, somebody on here had a shop install his Stranos and Konis and the shop mounted the Konis backwards so the adjusters were facing the inside of the car. I haven't heard if he made them fix it or if he did it himself. I HATE having shops work on my car.

Like everyone else said, great video! I did mine back in April and have loved my new setup since! Since my car is a daily driver, I had difficulty removing the hardware for the sway bar. Wound up breaking off the bolt and had to get new ones.

Good job. In addition to the pointers Sam mentioned, I would add that it's not necessary to take the rear wheels off the car. It's probably a little bit more of a hassle to wiggle the springs out if you don't, but I've never taken the rear wheels off to do this job.
