Looking for help with my Prodrive Springs. - Subaru Enthusiasts Car Club of the Sierras

Solomon · 2003-07-04, 10:36 PM

Hey guys,
I saw all of you last thursday at the Grill as I drove past in my tahoe...my legacy is still in the shop. I am interested who would like to help me install 4 new springs on my legacy from prodrive. I have the set and top mounts from a impreza to make it work on my stock struts until the GR2's come out. I had to dump my coilovers.

I should have my car back from the shop by thursday so I will see everyone then!

Tyson is installing his. I am sure he might want to participate. I would be happy to lend a hand, but I have no knowledge of springs.

Solomon · 2003-07-05, 09:25 PM

kewl.

I am going to find a place with a compressor for the springs to make life a bit easyier. Does anyone have a impact wrench or I can get one with some other tools if needed. I have a great read:

This says it all...I am looking to do this next sunday if all goes well.

yah I got the spring compressor. I have it(spring compressor) for as long as I want, and I looked at installing mine a few days ago but the freakin camber bolt was on there tight and all I had was my 1/2 inch wrench and socket. An impact wrench would be sweet. All in all it does'nt look that hard you just really need the right tools and some one to help you!

I will ask my father-in-law if we can use his warehouse in sparks to work on the cars. He and other there have more tools then you could use, it's awsome. Can you do anything on sunday early? We can talk about it at this weeks meet.

Oh Oh, I wanna use a warehouse to install my uppipe....can i come?

Solomon · 2003-07-06, 10:06 AM

let me find out if he will be in town or racing.

Solomon · 2003-07-07, 02:42 PM

Ok I think depending on how many cars are there, I can take Tyson, and yourself Arthur. I will be there at 6:30 AM or before in the morning so he can let me in. I am going to get the car up and ready to remove everything. If you could be there as soon as possible that would be killer. I would like to get all of us done by mid afternoon.

Solomon · 2003-07-12, 08:20 PM

Ok, I need to know who is coming in the morning. Could you please give me a call tonight, or post something on here.
Thanks!
Britten

ArthurS · 2003-07-12, 08:24 PM

I will be there tomorrow morning and I think Evan is coming with me. Still need directions though, so PM me with them.

Solomon · 2003-07-12, 08:30 PM

I am waiting to get a address to pull it up on a map. Is Tyson coming? Could yo call him or send my his #? I need to make sure someone is there with those spring compresors.

Solomon · 2003-07-12, 08:46 PM

No one is calling me back with directions to the warehouse. If I do not post a PM or general directions, please give me a call in the morning. I realy need to find out if Tyson is coming. If not, can we go ahead and find someone else that has some spring compresors?

Thanks for letting us go down then Britten. It was interesting to see how do do the spring stuff. The uppipe will have to wait for me until we have all the right stuff. Anywho....here are some pics:
