Progress lowering springs
How difficult is this to do just the springs yourself?
What special tools might I need? I just did the RSB endlinks and the stock endlinks were a b**ch to take out.(rusted on pretty good)
I looked through the "how to section" but it was only discussing the eibach noise fix. Any help would be appreciated.

The fronts are kinda tricky. Best bet is to pull the spring/strut assembly off (few nuts and bolts) and take them to a muffler/auto shop and have them depressed. Alot of auto parts stores rent spring compressors. The rears are 5-10 minutes each. 1 bolt and their in. Did you not get instructions? Call progress and have them fax/email directions...

I am riding on OEM shocks/struts.
I replied to you on the other site.
Mike (blackmaxx96) laid them on their sides and unbolted the hats and let them pop off. They weren't terribly compressed. Spring compressors weren't really needed.
Check out the thread on 6thgenmaxima.org about this. Good luck Man.
