Thats good you are making progress now sonic, like everyone said a spring compressor isn't necessary for any of the springs on these cars.

Why do you think Fuel Lines wear out or that a fuel line can effect your fuel economy? If a fuel line wears out you probably will also have a fuel leak

Thumbs up UPDATED: Finished

Just finished up the front springs & struts here tonite. WOW.... I finally know what the big was not only in how the car looks but also in how it drives.

Night & Day difference

Don't really need to go into much more details than that since most of you guys already know where im coming from.

o i got a ways to go b4 that lol.

Cobra Brake upgrade
alt belt
thermostat housing (high-flow)
new tires
fuel filter


*Just bought a new rim. I curbed a rim last summer and found out American Racing had since discontinued the style. I was SOL'd until today when I was at tires plus. They had the rim! It was a display rim and I bought it. So adding to the list above: mounting and balancing

Thats it so far for my 2011 plans
