Hi all,
I'm teetering between a Tein HA setup and a Bilsten/Eibach setup.
I was wondering if the trunk lining has to be taken out to install
shocks or is everything all done underneath the car... I understand that to adjust Teins in the rear, you'd probably have to remove all that carpent and lining inside the trunk to access it (or am I wrong here)....The reason why I'm asking is because I have a lot of stereo stuff going on in the trunk and to take out the trunk lining, I'd have to take the stereo stuff apart first.... This will be a PITA but if it's the only way to get the Teins or Bilsteins installed I'd have to label all my wires first ...
any help appreciated..
thanks

 

In both cases the trunk liner needs to be removed in order to get at the strut towers. You could cut out openings (to get to the struts) at both sides but that would of course destroy the liner.

Good luck!

 

yes you need to take out the lining, and probably in your case some modifications to the stereo setup?

 

Thanks guys...ughhh..I'd hate to mess w/ my stereo stuff again....

Rominl, no modification needed...I just need to take everything apart before going into the shop...I think I will go down to the san gabriel store you recommended to get the Teins...not sure when the next time i'll be down there tho...if i can't wait..i'll just go for the bilsteins...
thanks

 

ah ic, that's cool. whenever you need help just let me know. you can also ask mccong about the store
