Well yea. But u do trequire some specialist tools. U will need spring compressors for the front units. And also a 18mm or 20mm high drop ring spanner for the nut at the top on the front. 2 pairs of hands wouldnt go amiss. The front is the git. Back is easy. Just take of the shoch covers in ur boot, undo the nut, then raise ur car!! After, let it drop slowly into position. Sometimes it's a git getting the shocks to stay still while u tighten the nuts up! Message me if u get stuck. c001_female@hotmail.com

When you finally give up with trying to tighten the nut that holds the cup onto the spring, cos you don't have a deep reach ring spanner (youre susposed to hold centre with an allen key) just remember - give up we spent hours on this and when we accepted defeat and did them as tight as they'll go and drove it to the local garage the bloke just used mole grips on the shock absorber, to stop it turning and tighened them, bastard

buy an SR instead of wasting ur time and money. if ur gonna do an engine conversion get a 2.0 16v lump slapped in it.
