Hey guys i just wanted to ask a simple question...

Anybody know a web site or any page that shows me the step by step instillation of the KYB GR2 shocks onto my 1995 240sx?

i wanna do it myself instead of having somebody charge me to do it. thanks

I just finished mine up today.

Here's a pretty good web site that I used.

http://importnut.net/240springstrut.htm

It's pretty straightforward. You'll need 14mm, 15mm, 17mm, 19mm and a (I think) 20mm sockets - plus a good breaker bar. If you have those sizes in open ended wrenches, bring those along too.

Go to autozone and rent their strut spring compressor through their rent-a-tool program. Figure about an hour or so per wheel. In all honesty 2 wheels a day is probably enough, unless you have a lift. I was pretty dirty and sore from 2.

There's also a walkthrough on NICO. Search for "RUCA Install" it has the strut/spring portion too.

In addition to the struts/springs, I installed adjustable RUCA's and SPL Tension Rods w/ Brake deflectors. Both, also, very easy.
