DIY : Need one for installing lowering springs
Does anyone have a good DYI for installing lowering springs? I would think one for the G35 would be good also. :bowdown:

its really not safe because your going to need to compress springs and that in itself is very dangerous have someone that knows what there doing do it
|
+1000 on that, everyone knows by now I love doing all the installs myself and springs were the one item I brought to a pro to do. You'll need a spring compressor to install them. Also the car will need to be aligned afterwards. My guy did the install and alignment at the infiniti dealer for $200 I've heard of people getting better prices though

I know that you have to be careful with spring installs. I have done them before, but with Jeeps. Those springs are a lot bigger can Kill you! :icon11: But I love doing my own mods. So, if anyone has a DYI, I would still like to see it! :thewave:

if it was that easy I would done mine myself too, because I always do all of my mods

I was going to pay a shop to do mine too. But then I thought I would take a look at it myself. Once I took off the wheel and sat there and really looked at it good ,I realized there weren't that many bolts to remove. 3 nuts on the top of the strut (under the hood) 1 top A-frame bolt, 1 lower strut bolt, 1 bolt at the front swaybar and a bolt that goes to a little bracket that holds the front brake line. The toughest part is using the strut compressor. And like I said earlier, If I wouldn't of been able to use a wall mounted compressor I wouldn't of even taken off a lug nut. Those other strut compressors that make you tighten each side little by little are a pain in the donkey. I also used an air impact wrench. It would be tough with hand tools.

^oh ok, I have all hand tools and no spring compressor so its best I had it done then
