hey, i just ordered some BBK Lowering springs. Just wanting to know how difficult it's going to be to put them on myself. www.extremev6racing.com has on the 'how-to's' how to do it but does anyone know from experience what it's like?

 

Im not sure about the rear but the front ones are pretty simple if you have the right tools. I wold say you need a lift, a good muffler stand or a couple guys that can hold which ever arm you are taking down. I think its only 2 bolts to take it down and the spring pulls right out. You will need a good jack you push the arm and spring back up into place, put the two bolts back in and you are done with that side. Its really pretty simple, just need the right tools.

 

what are the 'right' tools? i've heard it takes 2 ratchets and a hammer and a screwdriver.

 

you will prob need a pry bar to get the stock springs out... thats what i needed to use to pull those things out, but its pretty easy to put in the new ones because they are shorter

 

well some people arent mechanically inclined and tend to not keep tools around.

 

and a spring compressor.....if you dont want the spring to come flying out and impale you,,,

 

yeah, I seen that happen and it can get ugly! Make sure you get one of them!

 

you'd be insane not to!!!

 

those directions i posted says nothing about a spring compressor! damnit!

 

ya...your going to need one.,,,they are about $50 AND well worth it
