If you have general suspension knowledge, it's easy...took me 3 hours to change out all for coilovers and rear sway bar.

It is almost exactly the same as the R53. I think there are some writeups on their board.

Look here. Took me about 2 hours(with the use of a lift)for the 4 springs. If you are going to install a larger rear sway bar, it would be a good time to do so. https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...ght=justintime
