Interesting video from Car Passion Channel, showing fitting of coilovers.

Interesting bit is he only releases the drop link before removing the shock. No messing with the long bolt etc. Does mention that stock suspension would be more of a challenge, and having changed mine from stock to Meisters, I'm not sure there would have been enough travel to do this, but I would have been tempted to try.

I do like Greg - especially as he does everything on his driveway!

You can do the rears without long bolt removal, just drop the hub at the top. Fronts unless you drop the hub which entails splitting the balljoint (opening up another can of worms) you will need spring compressors. That's for standard of course, aftermarket stuff just comes straight in and out.

Will certainly attempt his method when i fit coilovers down the road, love Greg's vids, explains everything in enough detail and entertains at the same time. He made the coilover install seem easier than most other videos!

Just undoing the drop link won't be enough unfortunately.
