FK Coilover Suspension Installation

The installation of FK's coilover suspension should take approximately 4 hours baring any problems. My 1995 GTI still had the original springs, shocks, and struts, all of which were heavily rusted. This fact alone added another 1 hour to the installation time (with air tools). So, set aside an entire afternoon to undertake this project.

A few notes before we begin:

1. A second set of hands would be a huge help! I unfortunately, had to do it myself (so it is possible) but if time is an issue, another person can sure make things a lot faster.
2. Although air tools are not required for this project, I would highly recommend either renting, purchasing or borrowing a set from a friend.
3. The night before installation, spray liquid wrench on all the shock and strut mounting bolts. Before installing the new coilovers, remember to apply a liberal amount of FK lubrication spray so that the threads do not become heavily corroded.

Tools Required:

Tools which are helpful (but not required):
