Help with coilovers
 

Hey guys, anyone know where I can rent/borrow a spring compressor
Or a shop to install my coilovers.
Munkywurks quoted me 275 for the install. :(

You dont need a spring compressor to install coilovers...

What coilovers do you have?

Tein basics, do the stock fronts just drop out?

they dont just "drop out" they need some persuasion but yes you dont need a spring compressor for it. and the coilover should easily slip in.

Thanks guys. I've heard different from other members. I'll just
Do it myself and save money.

yea its not that bad. can be done in about 2 hrs. rears are easy. maybe 40 min. squeezing the stock fronts out is what takes the longest.

when are you plan on doing them I'll help...

coilover expert!

Thanks King, I'm planning on doing it tomorrow morning all hungover :)
I'll PM you if I need help bro

ooo finally putting in my basics!! just have a strong friend compress the spring and hold the piston while you wrench out the nut. haha

i havent gotten around to it yet but i plan on buying a spring compressor just cuz it comes in handy.. its kinda cheap like 50-75 bucks

Uh-oh... Doing it by myself tomorrow morning ;(

Bring your car to kingbabys house or "rod" and I'll definitely come

You dont need a spring compressor to remove the front strut assembly, ive taken it out whole. Did it to my car and a friends Z.

put in tein flexs w/o spring compressor, never had one myself either. fronts disassemble one side of upper control arm and pull down, should help greatly. hope install goes well!
