I recently installed new springs on my car. Search for Vogtland Springs..... and my user name. I did Koni shocks on my car a while back. The thread is called Koni Shock Pics. There may be something helpful there.

If you have specific questions there's a wealth of knowledge here.

Best of luck!

+1 ^ Thank you for the DYI. I recently did my front shocks and it was pretty easy just make sure to get a angle ratchet wrench. Will make the job that much easier (top bolt) Car drives night and day.. Amazing what new shocks feel like

*For those who plan on installing Bilstein make sure to get the right part numbers and the fronts go to the back. Back ones go to the front

Great advice! A ratcheting wrench with articulating head makes the front shock top bolt a piece of cake. Not so much fun without it.
