Help w/ struts! Anyone in Provo/Salt Lake...

I just purchased some struts (front/rear) for my car. I've never installed struts before. Is there anyone in the Provo/Salt Lake area that can help me install the struts?

I would prefer to do this before the 19th. I won't have time next week on Thursday and Friday, but any day other than that would be fine.

Thanks for the "kind words." The reason I posted in here is that more people look at these threads; less look at the regional posts.

you might have to do it yourself. i watched my friend do my struts and springs and i have to say i'm like 80% sure i could do it myself another time. try to read stuff around here and maybe ask around your town? so this way you won't have to make that person do it all. you will have a little background which can help

Yeah, I'll most likely end up doing it myself. I didn't want someone to do the whole thing for me (I wouldn't learn anything that way). Looks like I'll just have to go with the Haynes manual and have a go.

Dont forget to shave your front bumpstops!!! (lil rubber things)

For my setup, Eibachs and Tokikos they needed a 2cm shave, thats like 66% of a inch for yankees.

Or he can buy the KYB ones that I discuss in the STICKY THREADS...where we also have how-to writeups on suspension installs.
