Hey guys, I was just wondering if there is a write-up for a 4 bolt install. My car was already lowered when I bought it and I went to get it aligned and was told I needed c/c plates before they could do it. I ordered 4 bolt and the install looks very easy with the instructions provided, but online I had seen people say the install would take 4+ hours and is hard. Whats the final word? I assume I simply
1. Jack up the car
2. take pressure off of the strut with a jack
3. Take off factory c/c plate which is 3 bolts and the large nut
4. Remove strut since I'm replacing them anyways
5. mark hole and drill hole for 4th bolt
6. put it back together.

If I'm missing something please let me know.

That's it; the drilling of the hole seems to freak out many people...

That's about everything you do. I was dreading it when I installed mine a couple weeks ago but it wasn't bad at all. Took me just over two hours to finish it.

If you have maximum motorsports camber plates, check out maximum motorsports' website. They have a pretty good write up and a drill template for their 4 bolt design.

I just bought some off brand four bolt off of ebay for $130. I'll just set the plate on to mark the hole, I'm not afraid to drill after drilling 10 holes into the bumper for the chin spoiler ha.

I looked at the MM install and it is slightly different. I will be using stock shocks, what parts of the shock do I take off? Or do I just use it as it comes out of the box? I'm a little confused.
