Default "Changing Shocks" tutorial???

Hey Guys,

I went with the Bilstein HD's on all four corners due to their reputation and their price. I am just replacing the shocks and will stick with my stock WS6 springs.

With that being said is anyone aware of any of the great step by step guides to installing shocks? I checked a couple of the sites I know to have the ones with the pictures and good descriptions with them but no one had a "change your shocks" tutorial.

The main reason I want the tutorial is I don't know if I need a spring compressor or anything that I would have to rent for this weekend. If you all could point me in the right direction that would be awesome.

Thank you once again for all your help!

installuniversity.com has one I think but you have to search for it. I'll look for the link a little later and post it up for you

You need compressor, t50 torx, various sockets and wrenches.

Have fun, I've done it twice and doing a HD and ground control install on a buddy of mines car tomorrow.
