any tricks to replacing the rear shocks? anything I should watch for?
I'm pulling the KYBs and putting on Bils this weekend... are pre-loaded springs better than the shorter ones? |

A fairly easy job, need a spring compressor. My Bilsteins had 5 slots to adjust the height. I put mine on 3rd slot from the bottom, which was very low. Shop that did my alignment moved it up 1 notch.
The lower bolts are a bit tricky if you have a sway bar, but job should take a couple hours. |
