i got my springs!
 

well i made the order for the tein springs on fri. and they came in on tues. damn that was awesome. dose anyone have a spring compressor that can help me install? is it pretty simple? will i chop off my arm?i did a damn turbo install i dont think springs can be harder.ive just never done um' before. oh yeah and im getting a set of gold 2.5 rs rims. i found some one whos been trying to get rid of them and will do a flat out trade. :D

I don't thik you need a compressor...Khail and Tyson did theirs without one. (right Tyson?)...

Tyson used a compressor with Britten. Ben did also. You just have to rent a pair from autozone. It is pretty damn easy from what they all said, only pain in the ass is removing the back seats. Call britten, he would help you out.

PM me for his number.

I picked up a spring compressor at Harbor Freight in Reno. It was $7.00. It worked fine.

I would use one. I sent the top strut nut on a long flight when I disasembled the strut without compressing the spring. Took a while to find it. It is exciting when it comes off!

The lowered springs went on without compressing them.

Well, I just got my air tools! And I should have my long stroke rear JICs middle of next week.

Sean, wanna do a suspension install day? Say Wednesday or Tuesday night? I can throw on the space heater in my tiny-ass garage and we can go to town! I figure it'll take like 90 minutes for the 1st set and an hour for the second, since we'll know more about what we're doing.

Even better would be stealing a stall over at your work after hours to use a lift... you able to do that, or is that place off limits after closing time?

we just have a pit at my work so it wouldnt be any better.
i think a spring install day would be frickin' awesome. tuse. night works better for me so lets get a date.

I dunno that I'll have my rears by Tuesday. I'm working on a deal to get 'em by this weekend, which means I'll be installing 'em Sunday (and we can do your springs whenever works for you, since I know you work weekends). If I don't get 'em by this weekend, then Wed or Thursday will be the only days I can do it, assuming they arrive on Wednesday.

how early wed would you be able to do it?i got all wed off. that would be great. so lets just come up with a time. do i need to rent a spring compressor? or can you get a hold of one?
wed the 7. ??: ??pm

Uh, Wednesday is the 7th... I get off work at 5:30 or 6... so it'd be sometime after that. But I still don't know what the deal is w/ my struts. Let me figure out what's up w/ JIC before we make definate plans.

cool. that'll be fine.
