After calling around, most shops wanted $850-$1200 to install a set of coilovers on my newly purchased 996tt. I'm a little hesitant on paying for the labor as I have installed coilovers myself on my last few cars (A few BMWs, S2000, and even a Honda Element)

After searching around, I was not able to find a good DIY guide for this job. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

So far from my research, the rears look pretty straight forward, but the fronts seem to be more complex. For the fronts, I have heard tie rods needs to be removed, calipers/rotors need to come off....

Any pointers would be appreciated.

I've been referencing this thread, but is there anything different for the TT?
