I have the factory M-Tech springs and Bilstein HD's. They definitely fit. If I remember correctly, I did use my jack under the strut (or knuckle?) the compress, but mostly line-up the bolt holes. They are very tough, and it takes a lot of force. I used a strong, round-shaft screwdriver for leverage to align the upper knuckle bolt (the lateral one). It's been quite while since I did this project, so I don't remember exactly what I did. Sorry. |
