ottawa install shops or DIY?

The shiny things are your adjustment wrenches, to adjust the height of the coilover.

Actually, since they come pre-assembled, it's a pretty quick job. As long as there is nothing seized, figure 1 hour each for the fronts (maybe less), and a few hours for the rear. Nothing more than hand tools and maybe an electric impact should be needed. Depends on rust or seized bolts.

For the grinding of the inside of the strut mount in the knuckle, that's the first I've seen that. Then again, most are slightly tapered, and the Raceland's don't appear to be.

If you have the tools, and they space to do it, I'd do the install yourself, and then just get it aligned. I did my suspension install... Smile
