We started with the rears, which involves dropping the rear seat to access the damper 'hats.'
Old Bilstein shocks out. One side was completely seized while the other was very stiff.
We used spring compressors on the passenger side. This proved to be a waste of time. Putting a hydraulic jack under the rear pan works fine and is much faster.
The new spring is much shorter and lighter.
New Koni Sport damper & lowered spring in. The axel straps had to be shortened about a 3/4 of an inch.
We also removed the rear sway bar. The rear arm bushes looked excellent, but the T-bar bushes will need replacing - another project!
