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? |

Don't just remove that nut off the top of the shock in the trunk and let the trailing arm drop. You need to put a jack or block up the trailing arm before you remove the nut. That trailing arm is heavy. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wacko.gif)
