That's for Hotchkis but esentially the same thing for installing h-techs...that what me and a buddy used doing mine.

LOL yeah the backs are a PITA for everyone... I've heard the box is fairly easy though, not sure how true it is. How do you like them though? I love my H-techs...just wish the back was a little lower to match up with the front some.

^ The box is easy. I helped a friend install some coilovers on a box once - and the back is totally different (not even really "coilovers" on the back). But they're cake.

Our car, however... is a total PITA on the rear.

I have htechs and i just put cement blocks in the truck and the passenger side after about a week of having them in and they settled much more evenly with barely a rake which gives it an aggressive yet smooth look.

i love the look of them but i hear a little knocking noise but it might be a screw in the trunk i forgot to put back (hopefully) and the ride is really nice a bit stiffer but still smooth
