Unless you have the Toyota/Subaru tool to hold the strut shaft in place while you turn the top nut, do not do the assembly yourself. Impact tools work to a degree, but you do not want to turn the strut shaft at all, if you can avoid it. The install and removal aren't hard, so if you take them all out, have a shop or dealer assemble them, then install them yourself it should cut the cost down.

did mine myself, using 3/8 impact, and the right touch...the secret is to hit it fast and hard, turn UP the air and git er done, also helps to have good tools(I use commercial Ingersol rand Ti line)

but amazon sells pass thru ratchets cheap...


Gonna sell my H&r's soon, gonna go with koni race based ground control racing coilovers for the track... the h&r is a great DD tho..

Yeah my thought was swift springs on koni struts would be a bad ass setup!

So anyone got plans for a drive tomorrow? I was toying with the idea of driving down to Tucson and checking out Mt. Lemmon since I've never been up there and I need to put some miles on the car to get the break-in over with, but I'm up for anything. I'll try to make it out to Pavilions for sure.

What company did you go thru for hid's? And also are you talking about your drl's that are about 40$? Cause I am looking to pick up HID's tonight online and stuff cause the OEM ones kinda suck and can't see that far away at all! Like every time there's something in the road I only have like seconds to get the hell out of the way
