^bro. why not just pay $40-60 to get it installed. I personally like to do installation myself (now no time because of my 2 kids) but there is some place that will do it for that price. let me know, I have a shop that can do it for you.

it's pretty straight forward. i used the write-up found on 350z- tech.com. like i said before, it will be a lot of easier if you have a friend to help you with the fronts. the rear can be swapped out in ~20 minutes.

tempting to have it done faster for 40 - 60
but nothing like working on your own car.

so then it's even cheaper for coilovers?
i would imagine so since you don't have to remove the spring from the shock and just completely take the whole unit out.
