Default Spring install help

What up everyone. I just got some Tein S-Type springs from Option Imports and I was wondering if there was anyone in the 626/Hacienda Hts. area that could help me do the install or possibly do the install for me. I have experience with cars but never did a spring install. I also have a garage full of tools including air ratchets and torque wrenches so most of the install is covered. Thanks

I never did a spring install either, but i tried it anyway. It was a tedious task doing it for the first time, but i got it done. The rear is easy. The front isnt that hard either. Just go by what is posted on that link above. The only problem i did have was on the last strut, i couldnt get the plate back on to get the Big Nut started. It took about 20 tries and 1/2 hour. The rod from the top of the strut wouldnt line up with the hole in the center of the plate, and it just wouldnt go. Exhausted from compressing spring, i finally got it to go on the last try. Other then that, no problems.
