What's needed to install coilovers?
I have a set of coilovers that I bought used. And I just have the 4 coilovers. Is anything else needed when I install? Do I re use nuts and bolts from my original shocks?
Thanks! |

what coilovers do you have? You should be able to reuse the stuff you take off to put the new ones in. Some coilovers will only reuse the mounting bolts, other will re use the upper mounts as well in the front and/ or back.
Also make sure the front sway bar mounting hole on the front coilover is the right size. 2010 and 2011 uses a 10mm bolt on the sway bar end link. 2012 + uses a 12mm sway bar end link. Not sure what is on the coilover you bought, many are sized to 12mm.
