    I'm going to install kings on tuesday. I was just wondering if everything is straight bolt on? Do the brackets that hold the remote reservoirs bolt to existing holes or do I need to drill? Do I need to remove the splash shields that protect water from splashing the lower engine/pulleys?

    thanks.

    Everything is straight bolt on, the resi mounts use the existing holes where the sway bar bolts up and the splash guards can go back on after install.

    U shouldnt use any threaded holes on tha brackets but tha holes on tha frame are threaded, there should be two bolts per side holding up tha sway bar, remove those and put tha resi bracket on top of tha sway bar then reuse tha same bolts and screw them back into tha threaded holes

    Do you have a spring compressor? If not may have a hard time adjusting them.

    I think there is four bolts per side if u keep your sway bar, 2 to bolt the resi mount and 2 to relocate the sway bar to the threaded holes on the mounts.....I could be wrong though b/c I ditched my sway bar when I put the kings on

    King Coil overs w Resi,Camburg UCAS, LEATHER!!! USA-SPEC Ipod Controller,
    The coil overs are pretty easy to install. Its much faster with the ucas off IMO. I added Camburg ucas so mine had to come off any ways. Also a coilspring compressor is a must the tool they provide is a joke for adjusting. You would think for that price they would have a way better system! Good luck any other questions feel free to PM me.
