Thanks guys, great advice!

Ryan

PS: I installed one coil spring this morning:-) I will post pics later.

It went very well, a few trials but all good.

The powder coating saved everything getting scratched to s###.

Passenger side coil spring install:-)

I media blasted my original shims and painted them, the inline tube shims don't really look like the originals:-(

It took a bit of trial and improvement to get the spring compressor located in the spring perfectly so I could compress the spring enough to install and yet still remove the compressor, and not interfere with the upper spring pocket, or lower control arm....... I took the pictures to try to replicate the set up for coil spring number 2:-)

My only issue was that the powder coating is slippery and the compressor spoon wanted to slip/rotate up the coil and the hooks wanted to slip/rotate down the coil. (If that makes sense?) (basically the compressor wanted to rotate on the axis of the coil spring instead of compressing the coil spring) so I added scotch brite for traction on all contact points and it did not slip at all after wards.

I wish I had time to do the driver CS today but lots of other fun stuff planned, only time to post a few pics and go.

Ryan

Good idea, that would work nicely as well.

Drivers side coil spring installed &quot;I can't believe it's not butter&quot;

Smooth!!!!!

Ryan

PS: Now started to put the stabilizer end links on just because they were handy, but hard to get the thread started, put them together and tightened them up a bit out of the car to get them squeezed a bit.
