I installed OME springs and shocks in my '03 and really dislike the extra firm valving 107 shocks on the front. I would like to replace them with the 107C model, but really don't want to take the whole suspension apart again. Can I just remove the shock tower and swap out the shocks some how?

Also, now would be a good time to reverse the shock tower so that the bolt comes from the engine towards the fender, instead of the other way around. (Makes it easier to unbolt the shock)   Gary Young (Pcfdisco) New Member Username: Pcfdisco Post Number: 18 Registered: 09-2003 Posted on Monday, December 15, 2003 - 03:47 pm:    Thanks for the tipa Trevor.
