Hi Folks

anyone know of instructions on removal of the front and rear struts? The write-ups I have seen are pretty spartan! I need info on how to access the top bolts, mainly which interior panels/ pieces need to be removed, and exactly how this is done so the car's interior or bonnet lining isn't damaged. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

It would be very helpful if you told us: model year, coupe, cabriolet, or Targa.

They are each different.

Look at the 996 DIY for the RoW suspension - very close to being identical.

Found great instructions here: http://www.cardomain.com/ride/3362996/2

the job is done. The car now rides on H&Rs, and measures 1/2 inch lower front and rear.
