i dont see how it took all of you so long to put the springs on i put h&R springs on my coupe and it took about 2 1/2 hours front and back. about 1 1/2 on the front 45 minutes on the back. its very simple.

[johnnir3volution]

you're probably more experienced, this was my first time installing srpings myself. after i took about an hour on the right rear, it only took my about 20 or less mins on the other side

i could probably do a full dvd/navigation install with steering wheel remote module, microphone for bluetooth, XM radio and rear view camera in 2-3 hrs... it might take you three times as long !

we all have different levels of expertise with mods and what comes natural for some may be extremely difficult for others... or maybe they just wanted to take heir time and make sure it was done the right way since they had never tried it before

DONE!! the rears were waaaay easier than the front, it was lke 20mins total for those. Thanks for all your input guys! NICO members ftw!!

-oyeah- we cant see hooow phenom hurt himself with this install,..a monkey could do this install. anyone else thinking of springs diy..GO 4 IT! its not as hard as it looks, trust.

byebye thread. .. ... ....vVvvvVVRRROOooOMM

hahahha hey i hurt myself bc i the spring compressor got stuck and turned and i hit it with a hammer to pop it back to the right angle and BAMMMM........i was holding the spring compressor w/ my skin. I guess our compressors just sucked giant wang bc i hated this dumb install

and like toxik said its not worth wasting an entire day.......y dont u not take off of work and work that day while its in the shop hooray u get out and have a lowered car....now isnt that easier

[johnnir3volution]

[blackteam02]

I don't think Chris has much experience with this either (not sure he's ever done a spring install), but he does have the right tools.

I do agree some people have the talent and some don't. After spending a grueling 10 hours trying to get my Stillen headers on I wasn't about to go through the same experience with the springs. I couldn't get one of the bolts off and it was tearing the rubber sealant stuff around it so I got nervous and instead of hoping it was okay I decided to give them to a more needing member. I would love to lower my car but I'm just going to wait for coilovers, and then I'll have them professionally done
