Default Jack and Jack Stands

I need to borrow a floor jack and some jack stands (4 if possible) so that i can trade springs with Chad. If anyone has some that I can borrow, please let me know.

Jared: It would be awesome if we could borrow your stands, we are looking to do the swap on Sunday (don't know what time yet, gotta get in touch with chad)

James i know you got church and i'd like to do it as soon as possible on sunday so that we can make the St. Augustine meet. But if your up for meeting me somewhere, thats cool...

got 4 stands and 2 jacks but ur too far away.

your going to need spring compressors to compress the new spring enought for the rears to bolt up. cause the sway bar puts force pushing up and doesnt allow for reinstall very easily

make sure when doing rears have both sides up if u only have 2 stands because the sway bar again

I recommend not doing this on Sunday if you are going to St. Augustine. You will need to get an alignment after changing the springs. Plus, car work almost never goes as expected and if something goes wrong you don't want to be stuck in St. Augustine. This will take half of day easily. Maybe longer if you have not done this before or don't have someone with some sort of expertise with you. I plan on going to the Saturday meet though. You can borrow my floor jack if you can't find one closer.

Yeah i've installed coilovers and springs on several cars so i'm not worried about the install part. Where should i go in jax for an alignment and how much do they cost?

I went to TK performance because they have a flat alignment rack. It's like 79 for one alignment or 99 for 1 yr unlimited alignments. I don't know if they are open on Sunday. They are on Atlantic across from the porche dealership.

chad's done the install before on his car so they should be able to get it done fairly quickly. You could not do the alignment right away, but the camber will probably eat your tires within a month so I would recommend asap

alignment, try Rhino. as for jack and stands. I actually have an extra 3 1/2 ton jack and plenty of stands. I have two as I had one here and one set in Myrtle Beach when I lived there. Anyways, we're trying to move back and I can sell the extra jack which has been used maybe 4-5 times, 4 stands, also have 2pcx oem oil filters, 2GM FM tranny fluid. $75obo? Retail value on the jack alone is more than that. otherwise, if you need to borrow, i actually may have 8 stands so that you can have both cars up in the air at the same time you'll need to pick up on Fri as I am leaving out of town til prob next Fri
