I had a local shop install mine for me because I tried with a friend but didn't want to grind down the struts myself. They installed all four for $125.

taking off the struts on a 6gc is too easy...it took me 15mins a strut...do it yourself.

yeah theres this metal ring that keeps you from sliding the sleave down. So you have to grind part of that down so that you can get the sleave all the way down.

I've done three sets of coilovers, and it isn't that hard. one of my friends took his to Minekie and they did it for like $80.
