Well, buddy at work has spring compressors he will let me borrow so I took off Friday and gonna try it myself. Stay tuned for pics pending of either epic win or epic fail. :ughdance:

make sure you have a 1/2inch 19mm 6 point socket. they put the bottom bolt on the front shocks on with STUPID torque levels. I broke 2 1/4 to 1/2inch adaptors.

Other than that bolt it is fairly strait forward. the sway bar links are on pretty tight also.

Yeah, I just replaced the brakes and rotors on my Masivo Eclipse. I didnt think I could do it, but I did. Thanks to a few youtube videos, and a little self confidence, we got it done. AND we saved money not paying someone to do it.:tup::driving:

Thank you Kirk for putting me on the list. There's no rush for me, next week, I'll be leaving for NY for my job, we got the United Nations General Assembly, so I'll be out there for a good 25 days.

China, Mongolia, and Japan was fun, I just made it back not even a week ago, I did some crazy shopping.

You forgot my intakes whenever they come in :p

Also, the alignment from Dan's friend is $50.

Gonna give it a week or so to settle before taking it in for alignment. Compared to the Swifts, the factory springs look fragile. :p

So far the ride comfort like stock. Not jarring or rough. One major difference is greatly reduced body roll and the rear end is more planted when taking a corner at speeds you shouldn't be. ;)

What about $125....Teins installed. :tup:

Nice. We dropped our cars on the same day. :tup:

I ended up taking mine to a buddy's garage - install went a lot faster than expected when you have air tools. :icon17:
