Suspension

I've ordered TOKICO Struts and Springs, i have a 1978 280Z and i want to install this suspension myself. How hard would this be, and what tools will i need?

Thanx,

Re: Suspension

A spring compressor, socket set, and some penetrating oil is about all you need to do the job. A friend to help will make the job a lot easier.

Re: Suspension

I'm doing mine all myself, a bit difficult at times but can be done. You'll also need a jack and stands. While you're doing springs and struts you should do the bushings in the rear, and front along with tierod ends and ball joints. '

I'm doing all mine at once so I don't have to disassemble it twice.

Good luck.
