JUST BE CAREFUL!!! changing springs is one of the most dangerous thing! I've told Masteraal so many times! so if you guys are doing it, make sure you guys do it really careful!
spring hitting you on the face = knock out or even death! |

whoa, that sounds friggin dangerous as hell,
does that happen even with the spring compressor? |

No, I would say if you use the spring compressors properly, then you'd be fine and not have springs in your face. LOL
Maybe just follow the DIY in by Chris07LB. In saying that, I don't think I'd have the guts to change springs myself. Or any suspension part for that matter.. it seems to be such a vital part of the car, I'll leave it to the experts.. ahah But good luck mate =P

I thought of leaving it to the experts.... Went to a couple of mechanic's, they quoted between 200 and 500. That did not include wheel alignment...which is bullocks....
I guess at times like these, who think, you should always have a mechanic friend |

Hey Jit, just curious, how does the car handle with just the rear lowered?
Anyhow, get the fronts done asap! Your ride will look even better once lowered =D Goodluck.

sure man... with the back lowered, the ride is nice... just feels raised from the front....
sharp turns are no problems... The biggest problem so far is that I have the halo projectors.. which were meant to point down, now they point straight in the eye... lolz |
