Will need a cert regardless, as its adjustable, if you have basic mechanical knowledge its easy to change them, im sure someone on the forum will do it for beers or something.

Jic is good, but if you want low youll need keepers, and if they leak, itll be a mish to rebuild as stocks/autolign may not be able to repair them.

You don't need to get it done professionally to get a cert, just need to find someone who knows what he's doing. But you do need a cert for these since they are fully adjustable and not circlips like konis.

Have you got a set of axle stands and a socket set?

I'd give Greg (badcf4) a PM if you need a good shop to install them and set them up.

Re: JIC coilovers anyone here got em? check these out

You can do it yourself man its real easy to get the factory ones out and even easier to get the adjusties in. Just wind them all the way down before you put them, makes it a bit easier. Youl just need a 17mm, 16mm, and 14mm socket to get them in.

Nope you just use the factory ones(not sure what there called) they just slot into them and clamp around them, it will become obvious when you take the front ones out.
