good luck with the front spring compression on a DIY! have another vehicle available to bring the spring/strut combo to a shop to get them swapped out just in case!

In for pics

GL in for pics! I have done this type of swap a half dozen times not really that hard. Just make sure you have a spring compressor to remove and replace them springs

ive done this quite a few times but mostly hondas lol....

Snakes709 · 08-28-2009, 12:59 AM

when will u have pictures up...i wanna see if its really worth getting the springs.

RCZ · 08-28-2009, 12:59 AM

Its the same thing...you can always just do it the old fashioned way and have your buddy push them down while you get the hat on

Reward him with a beer. All is good.

ya, just be careful with those fronts since a few on the forum haven't been able to compress them enough with a general spring compressor to get them off. Mike (the powdercoater) had to take his to goodyear to get the springs swapped for $40.

hey everyone... i decided to not do a diy its to fuckin hard for a person with no mechanical skills to do this... i got to compress on driver side and installed it... it wasnt that hard to compress the springs takes a lil thinking though... i got bad news...

the bottom nut holding the strut in place was rounded of by me when i decided to use the impact gun... sigh... thats not where it ends... i freakin just got rear ended like 30 mins ago the dood ran away!!! pissed me off!!! so i chased him and got his plate number ... dumass was proly drunk thas why he ran... haha funny part was... an toyota echo... cannot out run a z

on a straight away... wat an IDIOT... at least start turning into the alleys or something... ugh...

Caravanshaka · 08-28-2009, 01:26 PM

damn dude, REALLY glad you got a plate number though, and that no one got hurt! Hope to see pics of the car dropped (with a new rear bumper) soon!

simota1 · 08-28-2009, 05:46 PM

ya man...

guy makes me irritated...

simota1 · 08-29-2009, 06:14 AM

alright up date on springs... after the round off the nut i took it to a shop and they got it done... it looks... just a tad bit lower... i would give it a 8outa 10 my only complaint is the front is higher than the rear?!?

hopefully it settles and it looks level... btw... my mud flaps came in and the guy dedided to put them on for me for me sooo i guess i cant do a DIY on the drop or the flaps cuz i have no pictures wat so ever... also my nismo black shift knob

feels nice... had to break the stock one though... haha no way saving that one..
