Holy ****, the bottom pin was a bear. I think I was working on it for an hour and a half.
Be really careful with the pin. I think I nicked it on the end trying to tap it out, which caused it to become out of spec and basically get stuck before I could completely get it out of the bottom spring holder piece. The top one wasn't a problem at all.
I had to drive it without a spring to my dads house (to sand the pin and bracket back to spec,) which was my first time doing so. I loved how it felt, and was immediately driving the car smoother with less effort. It felt natural. This made me more excited to get the new spring in.
After I fixed the pin and the bracket, I got it in and tested it. It still took some work to get it in. I'm not sure how some of you guys do it so fast.
Anyway, it's way better than stock and really how it should feel!
