Oh this aught to be a very handy tutorial . I've heard many times of folks struggling to get the bottom bolt out. [edit after watching the video] this is for the front struts, I think the difficult bottom bolt is on the rear shocks @felixd if you make a video of the rear replacement.

Any particular reason why you chose that brand? Haven't seen that one.

Oh, and sorry about that bump in the rear. I would be very upset if that happened to mine.

For the small price difference I would just buy fully assembled struts with new coils. Way easier to deal with.

And yes, can confirm the bottom mount on the rear shocks are the real problem. There are a couple videos out there already for that. Basically no good way to do it. They usually have to be cut off. Just gotta be careful to only cut the eyelet and not the shock body.

The reason i choose this brand they are value for money for parts made in Japan Osaka. Quality wise very similar to OEM ones. But we will see Hopefully they last long just like the OEM ones.
