I have Ksport Coilovers and I'm debating whether I want to install them or not today. If I read the How To correctly, I can just unbolt my current suspension from the top and let the springs decompress (I don't need a spring compressor, do I? The Ksports are all one piece). Then I take out the two bolts from the hub and the old stuff is out, right? Then all I have to do is bolt the stuff back up (3 bolts?).

If I have this information correct, how long would this take? I have to drive back to school tonight, and I don't know if I want to risk it or not. But my current suspension is SHOT. It's scary if I hit a bump. I'm just torn about what to do. My current intuition is just to wait, but I would like to know if I'm getting worked up about something simple.

if you've never done it before it'll take a while. What kind of car is it and have the bolts ever been turned before? If not, PB blaster and big-ass breaker bars, if not air tools.

It's a '92 NX, and the bolts have been turned before. The previous owner installed an aftermarket suspension around the time when he bought it. I also have taken the front hub apart before, so the two bottom bolts will turn. Thanks for the reply! :)
