springs

i just bought a new set of springs for my car. How hard is the front springs to replace? I heard the the front is a "PITA", and the backs just pull right out. How long do you think it would be to replace all 4?

its not to bad... i lowered both my 3rd gens in less then 2 hours takin my time, and lowered the back of a 4th gen in like 15 min, back is simple. just pull the tire and pry the spring out, and the front, yea its pretty hard on a 4th gen because you have to pull the hole strut, but once the strut is out its not to bad, id say maybe 4 hrs max somewhere around there

Damn ridge, thats a hot car

dont i need spring compressors to that?

thanks man, and i just finished painting it this weekend :biggrin: i hated the white, and i hated the bra, yea you need a spring compressor for the front

aiight thanx, im dropin it 1.5 inches nothing to drastic i still have texes hill country to deal with and to many damn dips and potholes

lol i hear that, i lowered mine about 3 in in the front and 2 in the back, and my crossmember is bout 3 in front the ground, i have a spoon performance crossmember with a built in driveshaft loop for the t56, so i scrape my exhaust and shit every now and then

yea my friends 98 z28 it about 2.in off the ground in the front and 6in the rear needless to say his long tube headers look like crap and have about 17million leaks
