Installation summary

Advanced DIY skills are required for this installation, making it best suited for experienced home mechanics with access to a proper garage and a spring compressor. You will need standard metric socket sets, specialized spring perch tools to safely swap your aftermarket lowering springs onto the new front struts, and jacks to support the vehicle and suspension components. The most important thing to watch out for during the process is safely decompressing and compressing the springs to avoid serious injury, and you must schedule a professional wheel alignment immediately after installation since altering the ride height drastically changes suspension geometry.
