Just like the title says, anyone have good experiences with dropping an XB2 with springs at a local shop?

 

Did you ever find a place to get your springs installed?

 

do it yourself!!! its easy!!! takes about 4 or 5 hours ! all you really need are some basic tools and a spring compressor, which you can rent from like autozone!!

 

4-5 hours?? My cousin and I did his on Saturday out front of my townhouse with hand tools and it only took 90 mins. That being said...I put springs on my xB2 and both my cousin and I have replaced many springs on our old cars, so we do have experience with this type of work.

 

The rear take no more than 10-20min. just unbolt both shocks, and it will drop to the point where you remove the springs by hand, and put the new ones in, then use a hydro jack to lift the spring base back up and replace the bolt again... EASY.. front is a little harder... i followed the guide... and had my cousins JonnyBlaze24 helping.

BTW since your in HarCo. buy some beers and come by my cousins when were off "Dad duty", we'll help out.... if i recall you already have it done...

 

for a first timer not really knowing what they are doing, i would say about 4 hours! in all reality it doesnt take long but i dont want to tell him 1-2 hours and try to plan something thinking it will only take that long and it ends up taking double that!
