    You got a place to work:whistle:?

    If so, the rears are easy;).

    But if you’re looking for a hand, @Pedal Logic has a place and we can do it there at a time hopefully soo (y).

    Just have my apartment parking lot, which should be ok? If @Pedal Logic is available soon, I could wait...any idea?
    Like the front struts, seems like the majority of the job is getting to the shocks.
    From the videos I've seen, there's a lot to remove in the trunk area?

    I’d hold off on the apartment parking lot route if you can wait another couple of weeks;).

    No need to get the natives restless at the apartment complex:whistle:.

    I’ve texted @Pedal Logic to see how he is doing, so I’ll update shortly(y).

    Well, I have to hear their screamimg kids out there all the time, so it's a fair trade ;)
    But seriously, sounds good. Always best to work in a pro environment.
    How does it work as far as tools and who brings what?

    @The Critic and I usually bring all of the tools;).

    Well send a sign up sheet around prior to the event :).

    I’m texting back and forth with @Pedal Logic , so we should know something soon(y).

    Sweet. In the meanwhile, any recommendations for rear shocks? I got the struts from RockAuto, but maybe there's a better offer?

    Thanks!

    Doesn’t take much to do;).

    Just depends where you want it:whistle:.

    But it can easily be done at a meet up(y).

    Then I might have it done at meet up. Btw do you guys usually have meet up every month? Because if you do, then probably I will do that in the next 2 meet up instead. Also I wonder if all I need to get is oil catch can set. Is there a specification to the size? Especially for the hose and how long it should be? Where will it be mounted? Do we need to drill a hole into the bay?

    We used to have them more frequently, but life gets busy:cool:.

    I bought the $38 catch can from Amazon ;).

    It worked well:).

    @RMB installed one at a meet up so there is experience in the subject available(y).

    Looking Rockauto.com. Looks like they just have KYB shocks but not the "all in one" with coils.
    They have Monroe all in one, but I read some bad reviews on those.

    The all in ones (if you go that route) need the top nut tightened ;).

    Otherwise you’ll have a rattle you’ll wonder where it’s from:whistle:.

    Some local shops will compress the spring for you so you can swap the shock out:).

    Avoid the suicide sticks at all costs(y).
