I have a 2010 RS and am changing the front shocks to 2012 RT shocks today. Looking for any helpful hints. Can this be done without removing any tupperware?

If it's at all like changing them around on an RT; you'll have no trouble. :thumbup: Get the front end up in the air enough to take the weight off of the wheels, then it comes down to simply removing four bolts! (Two on each side!) Getting to the ones up on top can be... a bit tight; but certainly do-able! Let us all know what you think after the transplant; Good Luck! :thumbup:

I found it easier to remove a few panels on each side but you don't have to. It is a very easy simple install.

Got the shocks switched out with no problems. Only took about 30 minutes. As for a ride report ... there was a noticeable difference in the curves for the better!! Well worth the time and effort.

If you have done the sway bar upgrade yet you should. It compliments the shocks well. You will be very happy. It is easy to install with basic mechanical skills.
