Anyone in the Seattle area have experience with swapping out stock springs for some Tanabe DF210s?? Im not sure the old mans garage has all the necessary tools (after all, he does construction, not auto work).
If anyone can help me complete the procedure with my xb, I will gladly pay whatever seems fair, whether it be in cash or beer heheh!!
By the way, I'm in the Greenlake/Phinney area.
Thanks

 

check the tech section... theirs a DIY for springs.... rears will take 15min tops if you have a jack, jackstand (safety) the right sized socket/wrench... its 1 bolt to undo per side...

fronts are a bit more tricky but solo shouldnt take more than 45min-1hr ... lots of people around willing to help im sure...

 

I can help you out on a dry day!

 

Ya I can help too if need be. I can change the rear springs in a matter of 20 min or less with no air tools. Fronts are rather easy too and all you need is basic tools (air tools would be helpful, but not necessary)

 

catch me on a mon or tues after work and we can throw it on the rack.

Hey shawn, with air and a rack you can do the rears in less than five :-P lol

 

i appreciate the offers guys. im in talks with my buddy who works at scion of downtown seattle to see if he can do it in the dealers garage for me. if not, i would love some help from you guys. i will keep you posted, thanks!!

 

well get me a lift and air tools and I can do it in 5 min, but right now all i have is a jack, a breaker bar and a torque wrench to do mine =(

What can I say - I'm old school ----------or cheap, however you want to look at it

 

Old school Shawn, I'm not cheap (at least, thats what the wife says) and thats what I used too, lol.

 

^^ i'll take cheap for 2k alex....


j/k lmao

 

after more than a month of the springs sitting in my room gathering dust in the box.... im ready to put them on!!
are there any offers that still stand?? perhaps this coming weekend??

 

yup, you might also ask dugzillaxb as well
