Title: Installation of coilovers
Post by: krysRAW = AROCA-Vic PR = on April 20, 2014, 02:35:46 PM
Hey guys

I have next weekend blocked out to work with one of my mechanic friends to install my BC coilovers.

Was wondering if anyone else has actually done it on the 156, as I was wondering if it was possible to install the rear coilovers via the the boot, or do you have to remove the back parcel shelf to get better access?

Via the boot should be fine. I used to have adjustable-top KONIs in my 156, which were accessible from the boot. You will need to pull aside the carpeted trims.
