Coil Over Installs

Anyone in the 805/818 Area that would be willing to help me install some coilovers on my car? i don't have coil compressers or even good tools, so if anyone wants to help me out let me know. I would provide the lunch, and beer if needed. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG] If you have a resonable fee let me know. I am in simi valley.

i dont have that much more then you either [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/IMG]
you could rent the spring compressor from autozone or pepboys(its free).
i do have a deep socket for the top of the strut assembly.
n ya the basic tool set, i guess all you really need is jack stands..

ya i know where simi is, its past porter ranch, nortridge, granada hills..
but ya i wont be doing the install, just helping out...
i havnt installed my springs myself but i'm almost sure that i know how to do it.
its kinda a long story... there was only one vague DIY, n i was trying it myself. tried to do it 3 times but finally gave up and took it to a shop cause i figured the trouble wasnt worth it. i just worked overtime for 4 hours to pay for the install... but ya i know what to do n everything, its just a matter of ability. i even wrote the detailed DIY(for spring install), something that would have helped me out alot if i had it.

topfuel knows what he's doing... topfuel, i know your in san dimas so if its too far, you can always drop your car off here and we could go together... maybe we could have like a mini meet. i know mangoex and sumana(?) are in the 818 area as well...
