Yeah Im sure we can all agree on a date. I'd probably want a few things installed as well - simple things like the OEM lip, maybe even springs, and the clearance strip bulbs eventually.

Rent a spring compressor from Autozone for free. Leave a $40 deposit when you pick it up, get a full refund when you return it. Changing springs are not hard per say, just strenuous. Just like any other project, having all the right tools is key. Having a lift would save a lot of time and energy. I changed my springs by myself on jackstands...boy was I tired.

Well hopefully in a few weeks I'll have another mod to put on. I can't wait that long to install everything I found someone who will install the springs for $175 (thanks Vic).
I talked Puria into helping me install the pulley, spacer, and pads. I'll let you guys know when we do that, if anyone wants to join. Now, who has some decent tools we can borrow ?

I could ask my parents if we can use one of their garages? We have two two cars garages (two separate garages each house 2 cars).

My dad said it's cool but he's just what we're going to be doing to our cars and how many people are coming. I think he might come chill with us in the garage. Anyway post what we're installing or w/e and who's coming and what date and I'll make sure everything is cool if you wanna come chill at my place?

Let me talk to Puria and I'll let you know. We are probably going to install the spacer, pads, and pulley if we have the right tools. I heard you need a special tool just to take off the crank pulley, is that true?
