Your going to need to do a lot to get the rear struts off, disassemble them, and instal the shocks. If you dont know and you need to ask its probably something best left to professionals. __________________ "Drive Fast and Take Chances" | | | 05-02-2008, 08:34 AM | #3 | Senior Member Join Date: Jan 2008 Location: Milwaukee Posts: 189 | remember us ti drivers have an e30 rear. | | | 05-02-2008, 01:03 PM | #4 | Senior Member Join Date: Nov 2006 Location: Land of the Vikings Posts: 2,700 | its real easy , all u need to do is loosen the screws in the topmounts then jack the rear up and un bolt the damper from the swingarm the damper should just fall out __________________ Vin Number decode and Retrofit Pdfs Available Free !
