The tein HG?? There isnt a HG series for the 240..thats only for rally. Just make sure to get a spring compressor...u will need it. it isnt expensive, like 40 bucks i think.

If the coilovers come pre-assembled with upper pillowball/camber mounts, you won't need the spring compressors. You can just pull out the strut/spring assemblies and put in the coilovers.

DIY
There's gotta be an istallation tips FAQ or something around. A factory service manual is always a good thing to have too.

yeah, I have the FSM downloaded for anyone that wants it. I don't have a FAQ for installing coilovers, but there is one for shocks/springs. DEFINATELY diy, you'll love it that much more than you did it, makes the car feel so much more like yours.
