do it yourself.... would recommend a spring compressor to take off stock springs, you can get a good one for 35 bucks at autozone (mcpherson strut spring compressor). by myself, i installed my ground control adj. ht. coil over kit with eibach springs in about 3 hours... 2 hours or so to install, and and hour to get the right height at all four corners. you'll save some money and have the satisfaction of doing it yourself. good luck

when i was taking the stock springs off, it jumped a lil bit, but i didnt need to use anything to hold the spring so it wouldnt jump, it barely did, but like i said, 02izzel, need help, i'd be more than welcome too!

do you have to have a impact gun to remove/install springs?? if so can you rent it from somewhere? I know it might be a stupid ? but oh well.

did my myself and forgot to put the rubber thing that goes over the spring and attaches to the top the thing that goes between that anyway now when i hit a bump thats massive you hear metal hit metal OUCH!! you might be thinking alex why not just take it off and redo it well i tried this and my friend who was helping me used an 11/16 for some reason and rounded every single nut on the top of the strut with an impact gun, mitsu wants 40 per nut to fix so i must save, everyday though i try to use some visegrips or anything but nothing works i am screwed

i have a lil problem after i installed my springs, but i dont think its my springs, i think its the way i put my wheels back on. it makes that noise when you move as if you had your emergency brake on.
