Default RE: C4 Shock Replacement

Your welcome man, I really enjoy working on my car and have been amazed it is truly easy to work on it, really is. I am sure I have already saved several thousand in labor on the work I have done on my car. I have replaced the exhaust from the cat back, shocks, alternator, serpintine built, seat covers, and starter completely by myself and with exception of the starter it was all pretty easy. The started was a real bitch. I just replaced the oil pressure switch this evening because it was causing extended start times in my car. Mech suggested I replace it and as always he was correct, started great afterword. My next projects in the next couple of weeks is a new Panasonic head unit and new carpet. I am sure those two items will be challenging.

Don't know about the carpet but the head unitshould be pretty easy. I did it to mine and the only problem I had was I didn't know about the seperate power supply(pink wire)for the bose amped speakers. Tied it into the main power. Only took about 20 min. alltogether. You may need a face plate kit that you can get at your local stereo shop. Good luck to both of you I'll be doing my shocks soon as well. thanks for the info here as well.

So Duclouieare your shocks leaking or otherwise not working?
If they seem OK, and you are not a high performance driver, you might just as well leave them alone.

Finally had the time to finish my shocks installation. Piece of cake. Went really smooth and they made a big difference n the ride. Someone had installed selectatrack shocks on my car. Never heard of them myself but apparently they were either cheapies or worn out. Well worth the $150 and time to install.
