Took me about 4 hours for my lowering springs & camber/toe kit install, not having to deal w/ spring compressors makes it easier since you'll have coilovers. Just installing my coilovers took a couple hours, but I trained on the lowering spring install about 8 months prior lol.

 

Retracted.

 

You can order the Tein coils from us :d

once any item is enroute its out of any vendors/sellers hands. they have no control to blame them is kinda ignorant.

 

It was a mix up on their end though. They sent one out, but they had to recall the shipment, and they sent me that tracking number instead of the tracking number for the ones headed to me. We just cleared it up though and the coilovers arrived today. I think I will hold off the install until the weekend though.

 

Good call, best to have extra time in hand, just in case. Look forward to your impressions.

 

thats great. ur gonna love them so long ur not trying to for the slam look. fyi (in case you didnt know bc i didnt lol) to lower the front u gotta lower perch but to lower the rear u gotta raise the perch. i initially thought i had to lower the perch to lower the rear like the front lol

 

I am trying to go 26.25" in front and maybe 26.5" in the back to account for passengers and gas. That may be pointless though.... based on motion rates 2 passengers in the back will probably drop the rear an inch, along with the 1/2" or so the whole car will go down with 2 people up front. When we have that many passengers.... we will just take my wife's car.

Fun starts tonight. Anticipation is killing me!!!! With Photobucket having gone to hell I'm gonna try and make a DIY with pictures and video. Gonna grab a spring compressor from Harbor Freight and get to work tonight. Hoping to have it ready to go out tomorrow night.

 

NO! Stay away from the Harbor Freight compressors, that could put your life in danger!

Just go to Autozone, O'Reillys, etc and "rent" one, you just put a deposit, and you get it all back if you return in 24 hrs (I think that's how much time you have). They are much sturdier, just be sure to grease the threads well on the compressors and you'll be much better off.

Look forward to your install and reviews.

Ha, yea I have rented the compressors before. Just a little bit of a pain. Reviews for the HF compressor I was looking at are horrible so I will just get the regular ones. I will say this- the HF electric impact gun I have has been a real gem. I think I got it to break the crank bolt on my motorcycle loose and it made light work of that. Work is pretty empty today so I may be able to duck out early. I'd love to get this done tonight.

 

Love Harbor Freight for tools on a budget, just not those spring compressors
G/L with the project, should go well.

 

Holy crap, front left corner took 4 hours. Just couldn't figure out how to line everything up. It's tricky. I know what to do for the right though and hopefully the back will go fast

 

Lol good thing u didn't decide to crank that out at night after work

 

I 2nd skipping important tools that have anything to do with safety from Harbor Freight.

Also, don't be alarmed if you cannot get the ride height exactly the same on both sides. It is hard to find perfectly level floors (thanks to drainage needs) and there are a lot of moving parts involved in the suspension aside from the coilovers.

 

I think my garage is pretty even. When I took stock measurements it was 28" up front and 27.5" in the back on both sides.

Got it done tonight. Still have to adjust the front, but the rest went a lot easier. Hopefully I can finish it tomorrow
