The tricky part comes in adjusting them correctly. I'm sorry I don't know how much camber adjust you'll need, but I had to move mine almost 3 degrees when I used the zx2 struts. Get high grade metric bolts & lock nuts, at least grade 10. You'll probably need 4 bolts. You'll also need an alignment afterward.<P>If you don't make the camber adjustments, not only will you have uneven trad wear, you'll also have VERY quick tread wear, and slightly worse gas milage.<P>Good luck

I just changed my spring today. All I used was 14mm, 17mm and 19mm sockets and spanners and 2 manual spring compressors. Jack up the car undo the shock bottom then top, pull it out change the springs pop back in. Best done with someone else and takes about 45 minutes a shock
