Do It Yourself

I will be replacing my shocks tomorrow. The current set up are air shocks. I am converting them to Coilovers. I can still raise and lower the car. Instead of with a button it will be done with wrenches. I am can make the shocks much firmer with the new set up. So if I want pillow soft or race car hard I do it with clicks. The sport set up on the LS is not very sporty.
Wish me luck.. I broke down and took it to a friend that has a lift. I removed the rear seats, prepped the engine compartment and all he did was removed a bolt at the bottom and 3 on top. And then he removed the air lines from the shock. Put in the new tightened things and we were ready to go. To stop any lights from turning on, I removed the compressor fuse.
The car sits lower as you can see in the pictures. The steering is sharper, the handling is crisper and the ride is firmer.
