Starting front suspension 2morrow. have some ???
i plan on starting my front suspension 2morrow. i will be taking the front bumper and fenders off to make it a little easier plus they are being replaced anyways, but is there any tips or suggestions before i start? how long am i looking to complete the job? i have replaced the suspension before to upgrade to sn95 spindles so i should be familiar with it again. i will be doing bump steer, mm cc plates, tokico hp struts, and sportline lowering springs.

hes right you dont need a spring compressor at all. Put a jack under a-arm and jack it up, unscrew the strut bolt in the engine bay and slowly lower the spring down all the way, if it doesnt come out kick it. it will be stretched out enough that it wont pop out hard. Ive done it like 10 times
