Thanks for the Help. My buddy helped me install my springs this weekend, it went real smooth. Tookabout 2.5hrs. start to finish with impact gun and all proper tools. He's a mechanic and was very impressed with your instructions.
Props.

Great DIY man, but one question. I did all of those same steps but when I took that bolt out from the bottom of my rear ones,the whole assembly popped straight down, I'm assuming from the spring. It kinda wedged itself and I didnt know how to get it out. Is that normal? And how do I handle it?

Hey Great Job On Taking The Time And Showing A Detail Instruction On How To.

[mickeycivic04]

um how do u change from a sleeve kit to da whole set up damper kit?

i searched the thread and didn't see that anyone had posted it, but you can get spring compressors for FREE from Auto Zone. you pay a deposit and get it back fully when you return them. maybe this could be added to the first page so people don't chance getting hurt taking these apart.

Fawking Awesome! I just found this little gem because it's been a while since I have messed with the suspension on my car and needed a little refresher! Got all my tools and ready to tear it up tomorrow. Thanks to the Original Poster and anyone who gave good advice!
