Strut / Spring install
 
What degree of difficulty is this install? The hardest job ive done so far is rotor and break pads, do you think i am capable of doing this?

Not difficult, but time-taking and you must be careful.

it's pretty hard work by yourself - technically not that hard, but physically tiring.
It took me a total of 7 hours - having never done any suspension work before.
If you have access to air tools and a lift it would speed things up - Spring Compressors are free to "rent" at autozone - you pay them a deposit and it gets refunded when you return them - it's an unlimited rental too.

It took me and 2 friends 6-7 hours to drop my car (eibcah springs and tokico blues). It would have gone by easier and quicker if we had the right tools, but oh well , it was a fun experience, you learn a lot.

I've done it enough times that I can get it done in 3 hours by myself with hand tools.

how many people have used air tools for a suspension job? I have...and I don't think it makes it any faster than hand tools.
