id probably feel comfortable doing it with someone who has already done it too just to be on the safe side and i dont screw things up. mcgeorges said 3 to 5 business days from today so hopefully this time next week i will get them.
Anyone else that think they can help?

Default Be Careful installing yourself

Be careful putting on those springs. I have friends that put their own on and it created a lot of rattle throughout the car. It may look good but you really should have a pro do it.

Plus, if anything goes wrong with your car and the dealer finds aftermarket crap on your car your warranty will be void. May not be worth it

define a lot of rattle in the car. because the smoothness in the ride goes down a little bit when u lower the car and u feel the road more. Plus the tC already has a lot of rattle though out it. i will take my chances along with precautions. thanks for the tip though
