it took me 6 hours, but i ran into some snags, nothin big, just me being stupid. you do need spring compressors, you can get those at autozone for free, the borrow a tool program. socket set, a torque wrench, that's about all i can think of. and a tool box with misc tools just in case . . .

oh, the DIY for installing coilovers was pretty helpful, at least in getting the strut assemblies off the car. so check that out in the mega DIY thread in the tech forum.

we do it the ghetto way, stick a pole like a lancer rod
in the ground bout 1 foot, take the whole strut and spring out
and sit it in front of the pole, sit a tire on the strut, have someone sit
on the tire and we have an air gun which makes things faster,
take the middle bolt off and let the strut decompress against the
pole, took us like 2 hrs to do the whole car, easier with alot
of ppl.

CapYoda has a spectacular aura aboutCapYoda has a spectacular aura about
they're riding on stock shocks.

which may or may not blow, depending on the drop and the stiffness of the spring.

neuspeed sport isn't that bad, from what I've heard.

I ordered my Neuspeed Sport's a few days ago, and I'm stoked to get them installed. Here's my plan for a DIY
*Ring* Hello, Tire-Rama?

I'm all about doing stuff myself, but things like that I just don't trust doing myself. Maybe someday, hopefully ..
Anyways, I've heard pretty much all good about these springs, so I'm excited ..

Cheers! [IMG]i/expressions/beer_yum.gif[/IMG]
