I'm going to get them thursday, anyone have advices on installing the springs?

Any information would help.

Does anyone have pictures of the install or after the installment?

Again, anything would help. thanks.

 

it should be a pretty straight forward install.......just make sure you have spring compressors but all you need to do is jack up the car, take off all the wheels, use spring compressors to compress springs, unbolt shock/strut remove it, put new springs on, and put everytyhing back together, obviously this is just a very brief explanation lol

 

"spring compressors" that' s starting to worry me. do i need this? i'm assuming its like an impact gun? can i just use brute strength to take off springs?

 

ya u can use brute strength to take off springs if your hee man.

 

Lol, ya your gonna need spring compressors bro...It just makes it really tough without them, and your like worn out when your done haha

 

im also looking into some springs soon..but i heard the RRM springs arent very good..ive seen a couple of pics from RRM springs and the hight dosent look any lower at all..

i mean i dont want my car sitting on the ground..but at the same time i dont want it at stock height

 

you can get spring compressors at like advance auto for like $30 all it does is compress the spring to make it easier to take off ....

 

so its possible to use your own strength to take it off, am i right?

 

just make sure ur face isnt 2 inches away from the springs while ur doing the deed.

 

has anybody done the eibach spring set
my guess is they might actually be better
????

 

Your car pushes down on the springs and does not compress them all the way down even while driving on bumpy road. Think of the pressure that it will take to hold them down evenly while you disassemble the strut.With spring compressors be very careful when you do this as if you mount them wrong or compress them unevenly the spring can launch off with alot of force. And you will want a impact gun to for the spring compressor.
It is real easy to do if you take your time and get (rent) the right tools. Without the right tools it will be a real PITA.
Good luck.

 

ashun - you may want to look into having a friend or mechanic do this job. Without knowledge, you could easily hurt yourself.

You can't use your own strength - these springs hold up a 3100 car. At the very least, you're going to need an impact gun and to buy/rent a set of spring compressors. And you REALLY want a 2nd person, because this is a horrible job to do alone.

FWIW, I'm going to have a full install how-to article with pictures soon, but I need the foot of snow to melt so I can access my driveway...

 

thank you so much. i'm gonna do as you guys say.

 

this is a good time to have connections. Ive got a buddy of mine that hooked me up $40 for Tints

anyway, like Black said, you should just have a Pro have it done.

 

Are they out yet for the 08s?
