Hey, I wanna know why you paid 15 and I paid 20!!!
You're right though......pretty cool. I did experience something the other day though while installing my new suspension........the rear was clear as day but the front instructions were rather convoluted and did not make a whole lot of sense to me. sure enough, you DO NOT have to for instance diconnect the steering to replace the coil over, nor do you have to disconnect the linkages to the Xenons..... :smile:

I dont have the guts to take on a suspension sytem... I am too afriad of jacking something up. However, the instructions are clear, to me at least, but I am not staring at the actual parts and comparing the manual. I think that everyone needs to get one of these though. there is just nothing out there about the car... as far as the mechanics go. Great little investment!!!!

Are there different versions of this shop manual.

link posted by jive

and a different one

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...category=34211

Wasn't sure if anything was different between these two other than the 10 dollar price difference.
