Which is easier? Coilovers or lowering spring installation? From what I've read they are both about the same except lowering springs have to be compressed. I've never done either.... What are your opion's on the difficulty involed in installing them yourself? I'm not a mechanic and I've hadn't had any problems with installing my exhaust or any other regular maintenance to my car. Should I attempt it myself or pay $$$$$ an hour for someone else to do it?

 

Coils are easier because their direct swap and I would do it myself, saves you a lot of money...both are pretty easy to install

 

I haven't done it but I've seen some guides and it looks pretty straight forward. You still have to compress the spring for the coilovers anyway cuz you gotta use the stock bump stop(I think).

 

I didn't need to compress my springs for my Megan coils, it was just direct swap lol

 

Guess it was late when I posted this thread.. Apparently Crown impairs my spelling,lol.. I've heard some horror stories about compressing springs. Do you have to compress the front springs to get the oem shocks out? If not then the install seems pretty straight forward. Just need a jack, jack stands, panel remover for the trunk, torque wrench, pry bar, metric socket wrench, WD-40. Am I missing anything?

 

if you have never done it before or watched someone do it...you will be in for a long day. find someone to supervise/help you.
