Default DIY: Replace suspension

I just replaced my OEM suspension with Bilstein PSS9's and documented the procedure in a little (LONG) detailed DIY video. There is one for the fronts and one for the rears. Hope it helps someone and please Subscribe to my channel if so

Here is the playlist with the two videos:

Subscribed.
I'll watch it when I have a chance.
Looking forward to seeing what the differences between the 986 and the 996.
I've recently refreshed my 996 suspension.
I know the front is similar, but the rear has to be different.

Awesome! I really want to hear driving impressions etc. I’m tempted to do this on my Boxster.

I will watch these on my next long work trip!

Dude! Great video! I just did mine last week and could've used this. Every video i watched was not very clear, hard to see what they were doing, and they'd skip parts of the job. Thanks for taking the time to do this, you'll help a ton of people out.

Thanks for the kind words! Yeah, I REALLY wish I would have had my video before doing this. Hahaha. It's really not that difficult, but I had to pull together a lot of different info and go through quite a bit of trial and error until I figured out the easiest way for me to do it.

All I ask for in return is for those it helps to subscribe to the channel
