Here's my how-to for installing aftermarket springs on a G37 coupe. The springs are Tein H-Tech's but they will apply to other springs and most of the steps will apply to coilovers as well.

Excellent DIY. I'm going to be installing my Eibach springs in the next couple of weeks and this will surely come in handy. Thanks!

BTW, your car looks terrific on the H-Techs.

I'm still trying to get used to the look. The rear seems a bit lower than I would like when sitting in my driveway but it's probably the angle I'm looking at it from.

I just read the DIY again and had a question for ya.. I know the 14mm wrench is mandatory for the two inner strut bolts, but did you need the 12, 17, and 19mm wrenches, or can those nuts/bolts be removed with sockets?

No, the only one that you really need is the 14mm for the two front bolts and even that is optional if you play around with swivel sockets.

That's good news since I have lots of metric sockets, but not so many metric wrenches. So I have all the tools, now hopefully I'll get some time to do the install sometime this month.

Good deal. Just make sure you have swivel sockets and various sized extensions to remove the 14mm bolts with a ratchet.

Tim, this would be the perfect time to acquire some new tools - metric wrenchs - with the money you will save doing it yourself!!! :yesnod
(this is how I justify them :crazy: )
