Any hints or tricks? QA1 install in the morning.
I couldn't find much in the way of installation (QA1's)...........any helpful hints or tricks to installing these on a 2006 C6 Z06? I've heard the fronts can be a biotch. Thanks in advance fellas. 
Note-Thanks MSI for the VERY prompt and courteous service (ordered Wednesday from Cali and had them on my doorstep this morning in Virginia).

They're not that bad. Taking my time, I did mine in 2 hours on the garage floor.
My only advise would be to install the adjustment **** so it faces the ground. This makes adjusting the shocks very eazy. I can adjust all 4 corners in less than 2 minutes.
Post your impressions when you're done.

Only a couple broke knuckles and a few curse words later, they're in. I snapped a lower front shock bolt and wasn't sweating it since they came with new ones. Well, they didn't fit and I had to run to a dealership for new ones. No big deal. Initial impression from driving home (5 clicks) is impressive thus far. The bumpy *** roads I normally hit were taken with with the "hard" edge taken off. Different feel and I need to experiment a little with them. I also raised my car just a bit for the track so it needs to settle to normal ride height. I believe they should be 4 clicks for daily and 6 clicks for the track (VIR next weekend).
