Putting on springs and shocks tomorrow. I'm a noob at it so i was wondering if anyone had any advice to make it go a little easier. I have no doubts that i have the mechanical ability and the tools to do it but any advice would be helpful. Thanks.

 

The rears will be difficult - mostly just because there are so many coils in the Hotchkis springs, it is really difficult to get a spring compressor in and out.

I've done them... I know.

What I would recommend is to take your OEM strut assemblies and all of the new parts to a shop and have them switch it all around. Some places will do it for about $15 each. Or close to that anyway. You'll have to call around to see who will do it though - some won't for liability (they're not putting them on the car, or something like that).

And I say to take your OEM assemblies b/c you'll need the upper mounts for each of them off of your OEM struts.
