Hey I was wondering if changing the shocks on my 00 A4 is a shadetree job or should it be done at a shop? How difficult is it? Are there any special tools that I'll need?

Keep in mind that I changed out both my timing belt and water pump on the same car. Now THAT was a bitch of a job!

Thanks in advance!

However you'll need a good spring compressor.

Yeah I figured I'd need a spring compressor. What's a "good one"? I've done shocks on other cars before but this Audi is unlike those cars. lol

thanks for the response!

I've tried searching but damn! there is just toooo much chatter and it's hard to get a clear answer on this. TIA

Look in the wheel and tire section of the Tech Section above. You'll find a suspension (coilover) install write up that's very information. That's what you'll need to do.

Neuspeed Bilsteins will work with your stock sport springs

I prefer a single unit that grabs both sides of the spring at once instead of 2 small compressors
