Installing springs this weekend.

[ANGRMNGT]

Ive done some searches and come up with some information about the install. It will be the first time ive done this type of work. If any one has any additional info or sites to search, tools i should have ect. Id love to hear from you. any thing with pictures would be very helpfull.

That's how I did mine. Make sure to take your time and take it easy. Rent spring compressor from Autozone to make your job much easer.

i did it this way sort of, except w/ a car lift. Took me about 5 hours doing it the first time

No spring compressor needed here are the directions I used. It took me about 4 hours by myself with floor jack and jackstands the 1st time I did it.

Get your front aligned soon after the install.

Same here. Though it was about 6 months after the install I had an alignment done and it was not too far off spec.

Should go fast. I've done it three times now. Spring compressors definitely make it go faster.

Why would adding an extra step that's not needed make it go faster?

I just did the springs on my GT and it was much easier than I expected! I didnt use a spring compressor I just removed the calliper, dropped the tie rod, jacked up the wheel hub just to keep chit from FALLING plum out. then removed the strut tower bolts. release jack slowly and let things drop down. Took a pry bar and pryed the spring out. INSTALLATION was WAY easy. shorter springs just slide in almost. rebolt everything the way it came out and there you have it! Here is a pic of my stang 30mins after I lowered it. http://www.americanmuscle.com/18x9-fr500-hypercoated.html I couldnt get my pics on my comp to upload. My stang is the one on the wet driveway.

Thanks every one. I got them all in without any issues. Started in the front, they seemed to be a bit more work then the rear. But, once i got thru the first one the other side went smooth and in half the time. Rear's where also very easy.

This was the first time I've done anything like that and with all the pics and walk thru's i felt like a pro. Soon as the sun comes out I'll get some pics and show every one the results.

Now if i can get those MFrs at RPM outlet to answer my emails and get my 4:10's sent I'll be all set for a month or 3
