Installed this morning. Very easy install. Took longer to take the tires off.
18mm socket and some bicep. Make sure you install the upper shock mount properly. It is not obvious but there is only one way. The upper shock inner bushing sits on an angle in the shock and I beleive it is lower side out high side in. Just note the way the old one sits when you pull it. My shocks had a little mounting paper in the box that confirmed it.
Initial ride did not give me any difference of ride. The old ones a removed were in decent shape so I may not experience much difference. I will be filling the car up with 16 years old and going out of town tonight so that might be a good test. I will report back if anything is different.
Very easy job less than 1 hour in total
