Problems

No, if you are comfortable wrenching.

Tips

Be patient, and have the right tools for the job. A breaker bar is wonderful for removing the struts.

Thoughts

These GAB shocks are damping adjustable. 4 way in front. 8 way in back. These shocks are built with nice quality. The damping is perfect when matched w/ Eibach Pro-kit springs. At full damp setting, the suspension behaves stiffely, allowing the driver to feel the track, and to control the dynamic behavior of the car in drift. The car is more controllable at the limit. Riding on smooth surface is like riding in a luxuary vehicle. Smooth.

Other

The cost of entry for these guys are high, but it is well worth the cost. Much better than the lower cost KYB or Tokico.
