Just got new springs and rear camber arms... now I need them installed like ASAP!!! Where is a good place to get this done for under $200?

 

Where are you located?

 

Crap! Forgot to post that... I'm in Orlando/UCF area.

 

I'll do it for free

Seriously, we can do it in my garage if you want

 

Oh, well you said asap, I can't work on it this week. Would have to be this Saturday before the meet.

 

My biggest problem was getting the damn bolts off the sways in the front... also, getting the lower arm back into the bottom of the coil-overs was a pain, that rubber bushing makes things really tight. I'll give a crack at it tonight perhaps.

 

Do you guys put the rubber bushing things back on the rear springs?

 

You mean the lower control arm? The sway bar shouldn't be an issue.

 

Yeah, lower control arm... couldn't get it lined up properly to get the bolt through.

You need to take off the swaybar linkage I thought to get the arm to drop low enough to get the coilover out...

 

Yea, I think I muscled it in without taking the sway bar end link loose, but that should help. The tough part is getting it lined up at the bottom and at the top. Trying to twist the strut so the three bolts line up at the the top is a pain. But once you get that, you're in the clear

 

Thats what took us the longest... It was the biggest pain in the *** ever.


also, you might save ALOT of time if you have a friend at an auto shop that would let you use their hydrolic spring compressor to take your old springs off the strut and put the new ones on. Doing it by hand took forever.

 

speedzone in kissimee installed a set of coils on my coupe for $100. they should be able to handle springs and arms for something comparable.

I've learned the easiest thing to do is mark the top hat and the bottom of the strut where it bolts to the lower control arm. This is to make sure the top hat is installed exactly like how I took it out.

who needs a spring compressor? If you're using an impact gun, just lay the strut on the ground on its side and keep your hands and feet away from the strut and fire away!

 

Sounds good man, what time are you available? If I'm free I might be able to come down to the meet as well.

 

Any time on Saturday. I think Ricky may be coming over as well for springs...

If I can get Dan's mrev2 and spacer in time, I'll install those that day, too. Otherwise, I'm just doin a couple errands and washin the ol clunker.
