Got my springs and sways........installed.......with VIDEO
Holy Crap. I can't find anyone who will install these damn things. I can't lift my car good enough and would feel better if someone who knew what they were doing would show me or just do it.
I've called around everywhere and most don't know what I'm talking about. Some will ask for instructions and ask if it's a kit or something. So I guess I'll just do it the best way I can. For those who have done it. Can I do it on jack stands? Or do the wheels need to come off? Pfadt installation video 56k users... good luck Ok. Can't really see the difference. I guess because the befores were taken on a sunny day and the black makes it hard to see the gap in the afters but here you go for now. It's true, pics don't do this drop justice at all. Perfect drop in my opinion. Before pics.....................................After pics And one with a clients car in the lot. Last edited by PQ; 05-15-2012 at 11:56 PM. |

The front sway bar may require lifting the engine to get it into place. You should be able to remove and install the rear bar pretty easily, Good Luck

The sway bars arent' covered though. I wonder if this is why D1BADZ didn't do his front yet? All the shops I talked to that said they'd look into it and call me back (which is only 3) never called back. |

Are you sure about this? I have watched a few videos of these being installed and none required lifting the engine.

The more room underneath is better. You have to turn and twist the front sway to get old out & new in.
Be very careful on spring installation. Do not let them use air tools to install struts back on car. Hand tools only & torque wrench! You can over torque the nuts and break something. Also, be sure they don't spin the shock shaft, that can break the seal & cause shock to fail (been there). You are going to LOVE the end results!

I decided to do them myself. I'll have to buy a torque wrench. The doc. I linked below has all the numbers so I should be ok. Anyone else with any advice, I could use it. |

I did. Nobody seems to want to fool with it. Got tired of calling. A few said they'd look at what they need and never called back. I'm doing it today.
