forever slow EG6

So I want to swap my Skunk/AGX setup from my hatch to my new coupe (which is sitting on some Ebay springs and stock shocks). Wanted to know if I need to rent or borrow spring compressor tools to just swap both setups, or is this going to be just a fairly bolt and wrench job?

Thanks.

If you keep top hats on both of the shock springs assemblys, then no, you only have to drop the two inner bolts on the LCA (the LCA to subframe and LCA to shock) and the top 2 tophat nuts (not the center nut) and the endlink to lca bolt (if you have a rear swaybar) and the rears are out.

For the fronts, take off the top 2 tophats nuts off (again not the center nut), the 2 bolts (top and rear) on the shock fork and the brake line ancors/brackets and it should come right out. If everything goes smootly, you should be able to do the swap in about an hour or so (air tools make jobs real quick)

If they use salt on the roade where you live the rear lCA bolts maybe pretty rusted, and will probably weaken when being removed. I suggest oredering new ones. Cheap reaussarnce.

I go to school in the UP and live in detroit. I doubt there is a place that gets more salt. If you use air tools, they comeout pretty good. For putting them back, coat them with antiseize. I also coat my tein's threads in antiseize and now after 2 years, they still move freely.
