Default Coilover install is soo much easier when....

you don't have to do this.....



Why remove the the coolant overflow tank in 2 minutes when you can spend an hour cutting out one of the front shocks. Come on, where is the challange in that?

And why the F@%& do Dremel tools kick debris straight into your face? I was blowing black snot for two days.

Yes Inky, another sh!t picture by SLV-N-BLK.

Oh ya, Front Z06 shocks for sale, slightly used.

Dude...

just put them on Ebay, people will buy anything. Or save them when you put the car back to stock when you sell it or better yet trade it in.

After you re-install them I'm sure all that is needed is an alignement.
