Now I know alot of you have done coilovers. I ordered a set of QA1 coilovers supose to be made for a easy swap drop in no mods needed. I know it will take more time for pics so I am seeing if anybody wants me to take pics from start to end along with removing the bars. let me know with in the week if no responce I will do it without taking the time to take pics.

This would be a good thing to do. Take lots of pics and list the specs and part number for the QA1's. The info is on this site but spread over a few threads. It would be nice to have a detailed install thread start to finish. 8)

It's something I'm considering doing to my own truck so a detailed walk-through would be great.

everyone needs coils :lol:
would make the good ride/handling the luv already has even better. at least front coils instead of the t-bars make sure you post up how much the swap costs ya and get plenty of pics the more info the better

Anyone doing coilovers, I have a brand new set, 2 sets of springs shocks stud adapters and spanner wrenches I am not going to use. I'll give somebody a great deal on them. Email jscheiner@comcast.net These are QA1 shocks from America

I will be uploading a ton of pics if i cant get the video small enough in size. if you would like a dvd of it step by step let me know they will be 1 dollar for the disc and 50 cents to ship the vid is about 45 min long but it is easy step by step. even shows how to do the rear set up
