    Never in my life has a suspension taken as long to put on as this did. AND I still have a knock up front after taking it off twice to make sure everything is tight.

    There is just a lot to take off to get to everything in addition to the creative manuvering to get everything out. I have done MK1, MK2, MK3, MK4, MK5's that took less than half the time to install. I am using the KW ST setup.

    damn, that doesnt give me any confidence for doing mine then. ive had coils for awhile now and just havent gotten around to put them on. a local guy said he could help me out, we are just having a hard time finding a time we are both free.

    it took me 4hrs to put all 4, 1hr 30 min for one 1hr break, then from there the other 3 was easy.. i guess i got the idea real quick.



    but then again i did a lot of cars before different makes and model.

    also changed a military humvee suspension. i think that was the hardest one i did.

    Guess I will be pulling the fronts back off of mine. I have a knock when the suspension travels.
