If you've done shocks/springs before, there's nothing too tricky about the install. Instructions and hardware was included, but there's not much to either. The DIYs on this site are excellent, and the only trick was to make sure your e-brake was disengaged before installation. It prevents the rear suspension from fully extending.
Thanks for your input. I've done springs/struts and coilovers on mine and other people's 86es a few times. Don't remember a trick with disengaging the handbrake, do you have a reference? I couldn't find it in this DIY which I always use for reference: http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showt...springs+struts



I'm also looking for people who have this combo to tell me their experience, did it degraded over time, etc.
