One of my friends fwd'ed this to me since we're doing my install in the next 2 wks or so. Maybe one of the mods can sticky this or put in the how-to section??
It even has some picks to click on.

KYB Step-by-step install
*cough check the how to's cough*

I will return one day.
Ummmm well someone correct me if i'm wrong, but that's a step by step on how to intall springs/coilovers....this is how to install KYB SHOCKS. Not an exact how to, but this is something to reference off of?
it's an okay "how-to," but most people would need a bit more information. It's pretty basic, but better than nothing >smile.gif>. Ed.
so do we or don't we need to put in more oil?

Oil into what? If you talking about into the strut housing, you dispose of the oil in it and don't put any back into the housing.
I would imagine you would have to put new oil in or how would it work?
Do you have to buy the strut boot or shock & strut mount or does that stuff come with them?

yes, you do have to refill the chamber with oil. most people use ATF fluid. if you don't refill, the strut will knock when you drive over any bump. most inserts take 30cc's of fluid, which is the same as 6 tsp. (1tsp.=5cc's). something like that. check the directions, and then convert the cc's. and i do suggest you change the strut mount also.
