So its fairly easy to fit as you say but i wouldnt really know where to start. Would you need a hoist or could you jack your car up with a (yes i know its obvious) car jack and do it like that? I take it they are just those 4 (from memory) bolts in the engine bay sitting on the strut towers (almost not sure if thats what they are called :P)

Three bolts at top of strut tower, two bolts at the bottom of the strut. Just jack the car up. It ain't THAT easy - can be very frustrating when you can't get a bolt off, but it aint too hard. Brake lines are a pain on GC8's.

yeh what bakks said! i had to customize little brackets for the brake lines! and yeh the bolts can be really tight! use a breaker bar and u will be right!, i installed mine with just a car jack and 4 jack stands! took me about a day to fully complete it since it was my first time! also had a problem with the rear wheels scrubbin on the coil-over, but a camber and wheel alignment soon fixed that
If your not confident, take it to a qualified suspension place but you will pay labour! |

Yeah Wilkinson said they'd do it all plus a wheel allingment for $300. Might just go with the safe bet and get them to do it. Im pretty confident with mechanical things such as my 02 sensor, AFM's, Exhaust, intercooler sprayers etc but i think this one will be better left to the professionals :P
