Gettin new shocks, how hard will they be to put on? What do u think about my choice?

[branman_crx_guy]

Hello all, I'm ordering Tokico Illumina's adjustable gas shocks tomorrow, hopefully they'll be here in a week or two. Anyways, I was just wondering how hard these are gonna be for me to put on and how long will it take? I had skunk2 coilovers professionally installed about 6 months ago, so the bolts shouldnt be rusted to hell. I'm also ordering a set for my friends del slo and we were hoping to do both cars in one sunday, do u think that this will be possible? Also, if anyone has any comments about the Tokico Illuminas i love to hear them. Thanx in advance for your help/comments.

you should be able to do both in one day. Shouldnt take more than an hour or so per car. Usse a spring compresser to get your springs off, the rest is just unbolting stuff... pretty easy from what i've seen

You don't need a spring compressor, i put my coilovers on and i put on my tokicos different times and i had no problem, i dont even understand the point of a spring compressor, u just got to be careful when releasing it....its really not too hard to put on tokicos but i think it'll take longer than an hour, especially if you've never done it before.

Well i was thinking like 3 hrs for the first car and like 2 hrs for the second, so hopefully we wont have any problems (not likely tho, something always goes wrong) and we cant get it done by 2 or 3 pm if we start at like 9 am. I dunno, but i might not order mine yet now, cuz i think im gonna get the ebay rear disc stuff (check my other thread).
