I just got some coilovers, put the fronts on, im scared to jack the rear up because i feel like it will damage the front coilovers and i only have two car jacks.. would it do much damage during the time i install the reaers??? i wanna just put them on right now and dont wannt buy more car jacks unless i have too...

You mean because of the exra weight that will be on the front suspension? No need to worry about that :thumb:

you'll be fine i did mine with 2 jack stands, first the front then the back.

depending on how low you are might have to remove the front bumper, i had to do this when i did the back on mine.

Yeah i just finished, I got one problem though ...i was connecting the reaer strut to the control arm... but the coilovers i bought didnt have the bolt that the stock strut has attached to it. i dont know if you guys know what im talking about, but anyways i substituted that bolt with an extra loose bolt im not sure if this will hold up as good as the stock design ...do u guys think that would be strong enough??? heres a picture--->Image[/img]
