Look here ---> http://www.bilstein.com/303passengercars.pdf on page 4. Notice the footnote of [10], which states: "Re-Install Original Equipment Hardware". Also, be prepared to cut the nut off the top of the original shocks too - The passenger side is usually rusted pretty good.

yea i fully agree. u need some compressors for the front springs. expect to put in about 4 hours for the front. be very careful when taking off and puttin on the front springs. and like stated above reinstall all the original equipment and expect to cut the top bolt. i had to and i believe many other ppl had to do it too. hope that helps.
