I am sitting in my garage right trying to figure out how to install bilstein 5100's... I need a link to a how to site or something. I am lost. Lol

Well where ya stuck at?

Bump for ya. You're suspension set up is different than mine. Hopefully one of the 4th gen guys will chime in for ya.

Is it that you need help with removing the factory set up, or just installing the Bilsteins?

Thanks for the help guys. It's now alittle after 3 am and I finished the driver side! Getting the strut itself out isn't too bad but actually changing the shock is a different story. I am now wishing I had just taken it somewhere and had it done. If you are considering doing this yourself and don't have a lot of experience with struts just take my word for it and don't do it!

Tomorrow morning I will do the passenger side and I will take some pictures and do a little "how to" post so the next guy who lets his ego get the best of him has something to get him started.

wouldn't this thread help? I know its for a 2006, but i didn't think the suspension was that much different if any.

Here she is with the bilsteins at 2.1. Just what i was going for, not so much that the stock tires look undersized but now it looks like a 4X4.

Thanks guys

I have read good things about the Fukken wax but it is so Fukken expensive it's hard to justify the purchase!
