    Anyone have some instructions or a link to an install thread with pics for putting on the rear bilstein 5100s on a 2nd gen? Sounds easy but I haven't found what I'm looking for through search yet. Please help!:D

    ^ serious...

    shoot, no offense OP, but if you need a diy for a bolt on the bottom and a nut on the top...maybe you should take it to the dealership and have them change them for you.
