Need an alignment after that just FYI, front alignment will run.
Rear..you can probably get away without an alignment but if you're doing all four corners you'll be aligning it anyway.

Greetings bro and welcome to the forum... I believe you need to do a self intro at the Newbie Section before any posting to be done .... :4: Kindly do the needful the soonest possible... :top:

bull, you'd need special tools to change the absorbers, locking the springs at its original bind is not easy, better to get a pro to do it for you.

And please also introduce yourself at the newbie section

That is a good question...Where to buy it my fren...Tat spring locker is the most important part if we wanna DIY ourselves...After we do it successfully ourselves, next time we can change it for others and charge them 200 per car...So no need to call for mechanic anymore smemore save money oso...Always remember wat d mechanics can do we can do much better than them if only we use our imagination n creativity...
