lol got my springs installed today, did them myself, rear was friggen easy!
jack the rear up, put it on stands.
remove tires
jack your rear axle up from the diff.
unbolt the bottom bolt of each shock.
lower the jack
wiggle springs till they come loose
remove
replace

reverse steps

the front required the use of a spring compressor, i went out and bought one from snap on for 80$ canadian (its not a huge stand type compressor, but its just as quick if not faster)

jack front end up and put on stands
remove tires
unbolt the upper bolt to the rod thingy (i dont know the nameof) but its connnected to the front sway bar
unbolt the clip that hold your brake and abs lines
unbolt the 4 upper strut bolts (do not remove the center one for hte life of you)
unbolt the 2 lower strut bolts
remove the strut assembly
support disk either with wire or with a spare jack stand ( i used extra stands)
with compressor, sucurely fasten compressor to spring
compress spring
remove the center bolt with impact
release spring (slowly!!! dont be fooled by the length of the front springs.. they are friggen long!)
remove compressor
remove spring
add new spring
and reverse steps

becarefull make sure you upper strut bearing is in the right direction theres an arrow it should point in the direction of the lower strut bolts

Are they the Sport springs or the Street springs? How low is your car sitting now?

blackfoot

they eibach pro series , i guess that would be street, the car sits about 4 inchs under the rocker panels, and the top of the tires are inline with the wheel well edge... it looks soooo friggen clean!

Have you gotten the car aligned yet? Are you going to need any type of camber bolts? I can't wait to see some pics!

blackfoot

its gonna get aligned this weekend coming up.. apparently im gonna need camber bolts or plates either or.. but unless i got them on hand im gonna wait till i get around to getting them.

apparently im gonna need an adjustable panhard bar too, according to others you car doesnt sit perpendicualr withthe driveshaft anymore.. like some guy on the boards did hte same kit, and his axle sit 1/2 an inch to the drivers side.. now off hand mine looks true and straight.. ill have to measure.. lol ill notice it when i go down the road if i dog track or not
