 Holy shit dude. I'm home alone now and laughing my ass off. You must have got a bulky set of spring compressors. Sunday morning is not a good morning for traffic on here. LOL

Everything went on and looks great.
 Thanks SOOOO much for the help PQ. Couldn't have done it without you.  Didn't have time to wash the car up because it looks like rain is heading this way but when I do I'll post some pics of the new stance. |

The rear springs have been slightly revised and are just a bit longer than before. The safest way to get them installed would be with a spring compressor, but the amount of preload on the spring isn't going to be too high... if you're extremely careful you can turn it into a 2 person operation and have one compress the top plate and one thread the nut onto the shaft.
Other than that the spring looks perfect! Glad you got them on without too much trouble. Now go get it aligned and have some fun! |
