to be honest. from personal experience, take it to a shop and watch them do it if its your first time lol.

if they came with the top hat.. its jus simply remove and replace =)

you should read your car service manual on how to remove/install.
you should get the tools ready before you try diy.

you shouldn't try to do diy without doing the 2 stuff i mentioned above.

anyone would agree with me that installing coilovers are easy. having someone else to install them is a waste of money.
tuning them on the car is a different matter i guess.

i can install it, just the matter of tuning it is what i'm not sure about that's all

What do you mean by tuning? damper settings or alignment settings?. When you say you want to do it right the first time, get the car aligned to your specific settings and corner balanced.

in general, if you want the car to oversteer more, up the rear dampers and lower the fronts. If you want it to understeer vice versa.

Ok no worries its just confusing when the aussie site says one thing and then the distributor goes they cant get them but anyways. If you dont mind tells us how the ride is when you get them put it.

Ok got it installed, very good ride quality and is value for money, it's a bit tricky to install, but once the first one is in, it's pretty simple. I've not yet tried the soft setting, as i set it on medium, all i can say is that the ride is fun :D

Nice stuff. I just received mine in the mail this week.. from ebay and for the same price.

Does the EK ones come with camber adjustable aluminium pillowball top mounts??

Nope. You can't adjust camber at the upper mount of the spring/damper on an EK due to the double wishbone nature of the suspension. Moving the top mounts about will do very little except possibly alter your suspensions motion ratio slightly.

No idea if they come with spherical bearing upper mounts (if that is really what you are asking). My K11 Micra ones didn't.

When you get to that game level none of us would be able to tell the difference between a bilstien and a ohlins.
