H&R self install

Hey guys, I've done some searching and was wondering if anyone has done a write up on installing H&R's or any other lowering springs.

Also, I'm going to be installing with my stock shocks, and then buying new ones in a few months when i get the $$$. That is why I want to do it myself so I dont spend the money twice to install.

Thanks,
Mike

Re: H&R self install

I suggest you get your shocks first then do everything at once. I have had several cars with suspension work that I either did myself or paid someone to do. When you do it fewer times you take less of a chance damaging other part, like stripping screws, bolt, and damaging your trunk interior. Also you can read up more on some of the other shock/strut parts you might want to change while you're in there. Just a thought, I've had my eibachs sitting around for two months cause I was waiting for my AGX. Just got some of the other parts I need like new dust boots and isolation sleeves so the stuff is going in next week
Good luck

by the way, NICKSTAM did have a great write up. I think he took it off his server or something

I agree that its best to do it once and have it be done with. It would suck to strip a bolt and be stranded till they order the bolt in. Have someone help you and get 2 sets of coild spring compressors... that will cut your time down by about 30%
