nope…pull out stock shock assembly and put in new sexy coilovers…5 bolts each on the front and 3 in the rear…remove the brake line clip and all bolts and then ur stock stuff will come right out! it takes a bit of patience sometimes getting them back in but once u have a technique u are good to go! its very straight forward…

Jack up one whole end at a time too. If you do one corner at a time you have swaybars to contend with and that can make it hard getting the bolt holes on the lower control arm to align with the ones on the coilovers. Use lots of penetrating oil as well, and I mean **lots**.

until they are worn out and some of the threads are stripped. If the bolts are in good shape, don’t bother replacing them.
