New to the Board! Tein SS Install Problem need Help!
I just purchased the IS 350 2 months ago and I just Love it! I went from a Honda Accord 2000 EX V6 to this Monster! hA what a Difference...
Well I need some help...I am installing Tein SS Coilovers and have run into a problem. I tried searching everywhere for some help and really didn't come up on anything so here it goes....The Front Strut won't come out, I took the sway connector out but the lower arm doesnt fall down far enough for me to remove the strut. Any Idea? Maybe a quick run through? I swear I've lowered 6 cars up to this point and this is the toughest thus far. Maybe I'm just having a brain fart?
And just a question for those who have the EDFC...Did your reinstallation of the paneling in the trunk fit over the Motors? Did anyone have to make Cut outs? or ? Solution?
Any help is appreciated...Thanks Guys!

Ok I figured it out. Just FYI for those that plan to install...
For the front suspension you have to take the Brake line Bolt off the Shock, the Nut off the Upper arm that is U-shaped piece around the Strut. Initially i did this but it didn't seperate, but if you take a hammer to the U to hammer Upwards then it comes off, dropping the whole lower arm and making it clear for the Strut to come off...
Hopefully non of you get stuck for a few hours trying to figure this one out...
