I know. I just have to many "what if" concerns running threough my head constantly. Only thing I'm really worried about (besides compressing springs) is situating the top hats properly. I guess the springs can shift or something off the base at a 60 degree angle??? Idk what I'm talking about.

They only shift if you don't line up the hats properly. There is usually a notch or indentation in the hat where the top end of the spring is supposed to sit and IIRC, there is also a notch or indentation for the bottom too. Set the bottom part so the end of the spring engages the notch, set the top, compress the control arm to secure it all in place before releasing the compressor. Easy stuff.

Deep breath. Beer. Repeat as necessary. All will go well!

That's the kicker. The guy flat out told me they don't do rentals. The advanced auto here is just sketchy to begin with. I went to it years ago when I first got into cars and the guy behind the counter wouldn't even acknowledge me when I asked what socket I would need to remove the oil cap off my old Cobalt

I installed a 2CH amp to better power the factory sub. It perfectly mounted on the housing for the bose amp and the strut bar just barely cleared it.

Leingod · 05-10-2016, 03:04 PM

I love the fact that my 2 auto zones were sold out of rentable spring compressors. Napa wouldn't rent tools out since they're tiny. Advanced auto would only sell me the compressor and O'reillys was closed.

I really need to move to a better city....

Don't know how you guys feel about edited photos. All my friends loved it lol but I filled her up at around 5am and decided to drive to work instead of metro. Sometimes you just gotta enjoy a cool cruise with your car, even if it means waking up early.

Leingod · 05-11-2016, 07:37 AM

Although yours (IMO) look nicer. I love the cans on the back. Just makes the car look lower than it already is and gives it a nicer look.

Leingod · 05-11-2016, 08:02 AM

Leingod · 05-11-2016, 12:31 PM
