I used an electric impact. You really aren't supposed to, but on the fronts, it makes the job SO MUCH easier. The rears is all about wrench positioning. One to hold the threads, the other to turn the nut.

Roller_toaster said i can do it on my own if i know how to change oil?

I honestly dont even know how to do that. Yea i know thats pathetic haha
Buy aye ill learn someday :p

I have read some reviews of people saying that their racelands got destroyed because THEY didnt put them on right

So i wouldnt trust myself , i would rather get a professional to do it.

Thank you for that review stenger.
Im not trying to race it .
Like you said , all im going for is a nicer/cleaner look.

I hate how my tc looks , i need it lowered!
Im actually now thinking of getting the Racelands

Just need to save $$$ now haha

The racelands are seriously easy to install as long as you don't use power tools you shouldn't ruin anything. If you need help with an install Shadezz did a full write up with pictures and everything and if you do attempt to do it yourself and need help feel free to pm me ill help however I can.

^ what he said, there are step by step instructions with pictures as well on this forum on how to do it. Once you start working on your car, you'll never pay anyone to do it again!!

That will help you with the general coil over instal on your tc here's a general rundown of the racelands install. It's for an xB but everything should be relatively the same... The rears are a touch different but if you use both threads you can't miss.

Yupp feel free to pm me if you need any advice. The install is straight forward though just avoid using an impact on your front bolts. My advice pull it into the garage or wherever your going to work. Put it on stands and spray all your bolts with pb blaster the night before.
