Re: Installing Lowering Springs in a EG hatch (sniperslayer)
its not too hard... you will need a spring compressor or you just have to let the spring fly off when you take it off... mostly its just bolts and a spring compressor... search the archives im sure you will find a write up on how to install springs

IMO, if you need to ask about the complication, then you should either read more about it, or not do it yourself.

It's not to hard but it would help if someone was there that knew what they were doing. And whatever you do don't and I mean don't take off the springs before compressing them.

Re:
not that hard, if you want tutorial just let me know... just don't do it yourself, have a buddy for two helping you out
just have enough time, like Saturday or Sunday... start in morning ;-D
You'll need...(well for making the job easier)
1. spring compressor
2. Air tools (this is a PLUS, or it'll take you forever to do it.)
i did mine with 3other buddies, took us 4hours, just b/c we couldn't get one bolt off so we drilled it out.... three others took 2hours.
just PM me...

Re: Re: (FeRioR$)
Uhhhhh.... I dove head first into swappin out shocks a springs. First mod to any car ever at the beginning of this summer. It's pretty self explanitory once you get in there..... not a whole lot you can **** up. Just use the spring compressor, it's not worth the risk for a 40$ deposit at autozone that you get paid back full in cash.
Only thing to look out for is those damn rear LCA's. Depending on where you live, the bolt connecting the rear shocks to the rear LCA's gets nice a seized up in that bushing. I snapped the head off of my old bolt. Propane torch + Punch and hammer get's the job done though.
