I have everything apart just need to compress the springs to get the front struts back together, I am using monroe fronts struts with tanabe df210. If anyone can help lemme know, I dont think kragens by my house has one availble otherwise I would do that.

 

You don't need a compressor for the Xb front springs. At least I didn't and nobody I know has had to use one.

 

You can re install them with hand power. You don't need a spring compressor.

 

really? but when I saw dave do it he needed the spring compressor. Are the monroes longer, or can I just compress it enough by hand? Thx, Gabe !!!

 

I did mine by hand too..I also have used ratcheting tie-downs in the past for light weight springs..and if you need a commpressor, autozone lets you borrow stuff for free if your near one of them!

 

Yep worked perfectly, just push and tighten. Thanks for the encouragement!

 

Good to hear that you got it installed. Where are the pics? :D

 

I'll post em tonight, my main problem is that with 215/40/18, DF210 & Monroe struts upfront, I am eating my fender (not the liner) when I turn. I swear I have homemade fender flares now.

 

that what happends with 40 series tires, I had 35 series on my 2inch drop and it clears perfectly. DF210's I think drop you more than 2inchs also. Take care of it soon because the springs will settle down more in about another week of driving.

 

hey smoking. we need to get together. pm me and let me know whens good.

 

^^ Pm'd...
