The install is fairly simple actually, compared to my friend's BMW that we did last month. Three bolts up front per side and 3 in the rear per side. There are 2 more in the rear but all you have to do is loosen them, not remove them. Whole shock/spring assembly comes out after that. At first I thought it was too stiff, but the Konis are starting to 'break in' I guess. Much better handling; I can take corners at breakneck speed! Camber issues will have to be dealt with in the rear. The rear sits a little too squat for me, but I think it's just the ridiculously high offset (49mm) on the factory wheels. I haven't seen any aftermarket wheels that I really liked so I may go the route of spacers to kick the wheels out further. It's a shame that the 9-5's factory ride height is so high, but what do you do? Good luck and email me if you have any questions.
