Does anyone have a write up on a install of lowering springs

I wanted to lower my max and I saw the springs for about $175 here http://www.affsales.com/dsp_part_det...ng&vaffid=1001

Does anyone have instructions on how to install this and the tools need?

I plan on doing this over the summer

Thanks

Spring replacement is covered in the stickies.
You should also replace the shocks at the same time. Springs will kill your stock/already blown up shocks

Yeah, ST springs may be a bit too hard on the KYB struts. GR2s are on the softer end of high performance struts. Eibach/GR2 makes a good combo though.

Bahhhh, I got a good solid 2 months out of my new stock struts on sprints!

But I have sprints on kybs, It's a major improvement over stock no doubt, but the springs are a lil harsh.
