Feeling bored at school, weekends is right down the corner. And I got a new set of rotors and eibach springs that im gonna put on saturday morning. And then while I'm at it I'm paint my caliper to red.

And new tires and rims coming in next Tuesday
So anyone wanna give me some tips on installing rotors and sprigs?

make sure you have the spring compressors on securely, you wouldn't want one of those springs to break loose and go flying, that's a dangerous situation if it does.

Dont use a cheap spring compressor. Advanced auto lends you a free spring compressor for a 50 dollar deposite. Try and search for phenoms accident while installing springs. Or maybe he can post the pics

Make sure when you compress your front springs, you are able to attach the top strut bolt all the way in otherwise it might be a PITA to secure it afterwards.
Take your time.

Paint will not affect your braking, just make sure you only paint the caliper, not the disk and other components.
