    HowTo-> SLS delete and installing Bilstein/Eibach

    Jack up the car and put it on jack stands





    Undo the bleed screw from the actuator



    Drain the system



    It comes out under High pressure



    Remove the strut (yes they can be on TIGHT and can take some time)



    To get the strut out undo the 21mm bolt of the traction arm (i needed to replace them)



    Remove the rear seats, C pillars, DSP box and cover (see other write ups)





    Cut the SLS line







    Lucky could not care less



    Yes they were on tight!





    All new stuff





    Lube the shaft so it will be easy to remove if you ever have to remove them



    All installed






    Link to parts needed

    # 3,4,5,6,8,10

    And this is why

    The diameter from the SLS struts and normal struts are different



    Left SLS right normal





    It was hot!



    Other side cutting



    Remove the arm from the actuator






    Have a technical question, don't send me a PM but post it on the board so others can benefit from it!

    Remove the left front lower cover to get to the lines

    3 lines, the thick line is the fuel return line,
    The 2 small ones are the feeder and return line



    Cut the lines and install a gas line (rubber) and some hose clamps



    Pinch the lines that run to the rear and use some cable ties to fixate the lines



    All done and enjoy the ride
