Dumb question, but is there not any instructions included with these coil conversion kits?

haha Nope. Just instructions that say coil springs are very dangerous, use proper safety spring cages blah blah. And also the "installation is reverse of removal" tag line. Niiice... Thanks for the common sense bud youre thinking when reading the instructions, then toss them over your left shoulder and get to work. :)

I searched for the thread on here that tells all about the wire to snip and printed it out. But i havent yet gotten time to get in there and do it.

Instead of a prybar, sit in a seat and use your 2 feet and push down (on the LCA). That way you have both hands to take the bag out, put the spring in, etc etc. =) nj

On alot of these I would agree with you, but the last response was only a few months ago and I think AB's comment could be helpful for future searchers.

There is like an 8 1/2 X 11 sheet that had some warning on it and over the shoulder it went, but installation is reverese of removal kinda thing. Mine didnt come with any. I had a question on putting the flat side of springs up or down and the majority of people said flat side into the bucket that holds it. Which made sense also. And had a question of which way to have end coil pointing, and figured theyed swirl around on thier own anyways in the natural course of driving, and just put them in.

I removed the whole air compressor assembly but left the lines in there in case i want to put it back someday. I still have to cut my sensor wire under the right dash still but thats another day....lol

I wish i went with the lowered set (I got the stock ride height worried about scraping my longtubes). But i think it sits too high now. Hope it settles some when i start beating on it.

As far as the coils go....its been talked about. Just point the ends in the same direction, both forward or both rearward, and the car won't sit at an angle.

Purple?? I did not know there is a way to change it. Could it be a setting you have in Windows?

Does your car talk too? Just kidding! (it's from another post)

No problems?

If it ain't broke, don't worry about it. ;)

Yeah, you might read of a lot of issues with the air ride, but what you don't read is the majority that don't have any issues.
