How do you get the struts/springs in/out. That damn rear suspension tie bar is very in the way. Any tips on the best way to remove/install rear shocks/springs. Note that coming out are illuminas with sleeve coils and stocks are going in.

 

pop the rear tie rod out
makes it sooo much easier

 

ok. my other question is, as of right now we have it past the rear tie rod and next to the control arm, but cant push the arm down enough to get the strut bottom over it. This wasnt a problem with the tokicos because the springs were short enough we could just compress the sturt some by hand.

 

Unbolt the brake caliper and then unbolt the upper control arm from the car. If that isn't enough then unbolt the trailing arm and you will definitely have enough room.

 

dude i told you... just throw a block of wood in there to keep it held up... lol.

the cd slammed yet?

 

in the front, swing by my work today and check it out. it looks stupid with the serious rake, but the front is no joke slammed.
