I'm about to order some new springs and swaybars (Hotchkis TVS-1 kit) and would like to do the install myself. I have been searching around but can't seem to find a DIY on either forum. I have a copy of the factory service manual but is that all I'll need to do it myself? I always seem to have more confidence when I have a step-by-step w/ pictures from guys that have already done it. Any input would be appreciated.

 

It shouldnt be very difficult to do. If you have ever changed them before on another car, then these should be as easy. Let us know how the install goes.

 

I don't have instructions, but you can find pics of how they look installed on my car, on my cardomain homepage. The car was up on a lift when I took the pics, so hopefully they'll be helpful.

 

Also, take a look at this thread before you do the install. They are shaft collars for the bars to keep the sways from locking in one side. Very helpful and good advice.

Thanks for the heads-up on the collars issue. I made sure to order a set of these along with the TVS-1 kit. Looking forward to putting it on.
