Be wary of dealer washing methods/equipment; I think street sweepers use softer brushes.

 

Nice! Yeah they're very competitive with their pricing.

 

I was going to have some exhaust, alignment, shoot...any shop with a lift to install these, but I just kept looking at the directions and it was really straight forward. I decided to change my oil last week, then slide a bit further down and install these USRS. Really easy if you have enough wiggle room under the car. Took me about an hour and a half to 2 hours since I didn't have enough room for leverage to loosen some of the bolts. Just be sure to get the car aligned afterwards.

 

Its not that hard to do yourself,
the process is pretty straight forward

I made a video of the install on my 3IS (same suspension components under the vehicle)
if anybody is interested in seeing what was involved.

 

Did you have to hold the nut on the top inner bolt when you tighten it cheers.

 

Intially yes but once you do a couple of turns and have it snug you can let go it and it will hold itself while you tighten it down fully

 

I'm not sure if that video helped or hurt those who are choosing to do it themselves . But yes it doesn't look all that hard.

 

The video looks really straight forward except he should have taken all of the brackets off before installing it because it was all in his way.

 

lol yes, Learn from my mistakes. I was trying to work around the brackets and learned the hard way that I should've just removed it from the beginning first. The second side went a lot faster than the first after

 

Wow, specONE, thanks for making that video. Yeah, definitely easier if you remove that lower cross brace!

The Horse has spoken, Rafi please do your video on the same bush install, or I will come over and buy all your stock and eat your lunch LMFAO I mean it, just got to save up first .....

 

I just attempted to do mine I don't have that bolt actually the entire front is different no cross member etc...Well everything came off nice But trying to get the 17 mm back into its hole I think cost me a trip to a mechanic pretty sure I wasted the threads totally pissed...

 

Hey the 17mm has a nut on top find the nut and you will be good ^^^^^^^^

 

No nut it is a threaded sleeve inside the frame

 

After getting some rest and going at it again with a clear mind there was really nothing wrong with the threads the bolt just needed a little elbow grease and it was my fear of stripping it that held me back ...Passenger side took me a day with all of my uncertainty and emails lol..Drivers side took 20 minutes...I also want to give a Big thanks to Rafi @ RR Racing in all my years of dealing with performance shops and employees I can honestly say their response time to emails and product. Questions is second to none in my book...Just got back from my favorite clover leaf let's just say I went around it several times �� These things are a must ..
