1. Raise and support vehicle at a safe, comfortable working height. Let the front suspension hang freely
2. Remove oem coil spring and shock absorber. Refer to a factory service manual for proper disassembly procedure.
3. Due to the Shockwave bellow being larger than the coil spring you will have to open the coil spring pocket as shown by the white circle in the picture. You will also need to remove the lip of the coil spring retainer and cut between the large holes as shown in the picture. This is best done with a plasma cutter, cutoff wheel, or saw.

LIGHT DISARM RESISTORS
The resistors are connected into the wiring at each wheel to bypass the original dampening solenoid so that the Road Sensing Suspension will function without giving the driver a suspension error message on the instrument cluster.

INSTALL RESISTORS
Cut the wires leading to the dampening solenoid on the strut/shock. Connect the wires to the ends of the resistor. (This is an in-line resistor so it does not matter which wire goes in or out.) Tape up both ends with suitable electrical tape to prevent both shorts and corrosion. Tie back out of way with a plastic strap.

1. Raise and support vehicle at a safe, comfortable working height. Let the front suspension hang freely
2. Remove oem coil spring and shock absorber. Refer to factory service manual for proper disassembly procedure.
3. Remove the factory shock nut from the top of the lower control arm. This is best done with a chisel and then ground smooth.
4. The factory bump stop must also be removed. It has a nut on the bottom of the arm.
5. The upper coil spring retainer needs to be taken out as well. It is secured with rivets that need to be ground down or drilled out from the top. Some cars may have bolts instead of rivets. Note: If this is not done the top of the Shockwave will come in contact with the retainer and permanently damage the Shockwave.
