Hello, my coilovers should be coming in wednesday. Just curious, how do i go about doing the rear struts? Not sure if there is a DIY, i searched. Fronts are right there but the rears i heard were hard. Thank you!

Jack up rear end, remove rear wheels, remove the 3 top nuts (1 outer, 2 inner) on trunk floor, then remove the bottom nut, washer and shock absorber.

Hi IK,

How'd that work out ? I'm thinking of attempting the same thing. Not much experience on the mechanic end of things but it doesn't seem like it should be that hard. Am I wrong ?

Btw, are you near Philla?

Thanks,
Kyle
