krazy - :tup: looking good so far.

Thanks, compressing the springs to remove the top hats has been the hardest part so far.

That's definitely something that I am grateful I didn't have to do when swapping in my Stance coilovers. I attempted to do springs on my first 370 and it was a nightmare. Putting these coils in was so much easier. Just pull the old assembly out and put the new one in.

I'm not going to get into arguments over quality. I just know that I will be happy if I never see another DIY spring compressor.

the trick here is to crack loose the shaft nut while the strut is still on the car. :tup:

That's what I did... One might say that I had the wrong tools for the job. I couldn't compress the new springs far enough to get them mounted onto the shocks. I ended up having to take them to a shop for that part.

Krazy.1K 07-10-2014 01:01 PM

Took me about 1hr 20min to remove the two springs from the shocks, no air tools.
