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 ;)

Snakes709 08-27-2009 11:59 PM

RCZ 08-27-2009 11:59 PM

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... :shakes head: 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 :roflpuke2: on a straight away... wat an IDIOT... at least start turning into the alleys or something... ugh...

simota1 08-28-2009 04:46 PM

ya man... :shakes head: guy makes me irritated...

simota1 08-29-2009 05:14 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?!? :shakes head: 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 :happydance: feels nice... had to break the stock one though... haha no way saving that one..

Caravanshaka 08-29-2009 12:31 PM
