No need for a lift. Super easy to do on jack stands. Done a couple dozen over the years that way without issue :twocents:

Shadow is asking about SPC suspension bits still... just picked a different thread to do it in :rolleyes:

:tiphat:

I've done them too, but putting car on a lift would save me so much time and make the process so much smoother. Plus, my garage floor is at an angle, so I'm always paranoid about adding too much/little. I'll put the front on jack stands and the rear on jacks, and lower it to level and have the excess fall out after filling.

First dibs here... anyone need a front set of Hotchkis billet sway bar brackets?

I bought a full set, but the front bar I bought used had a set already installed. Probably hang onto the rear brackets. But I'm not planning to use a rear sway bar and could possibly be talked out of them, too.

lol I could probably lift my Z on jack stands as quick as 2 post lift with multiple arms.

Of course, then there's this guy who has it down to a science :tup:

Yes. Iceland for one. When I was there in August, it was a high of about 56.

Inexplicably woke up at 3:45 am, can't sleep. Guess I'll make the best of it and do some recording. Have a great day friends.

So far, but I haven't used much as far as my windows shell goes, and that's where it seems schizo.
