Default Spring Install - Potential Hand

Spoon springs finally arrive today will most likely be starting this evening and continuing on tomorrow evening. Will be out at the future mother in law's house in Rock Creek on West Union with a nice big garage and beers. I should be pretty good to go, but would be awesome if there is someone who could possibly help out or answer some questions quickly. There is the slight chance I may need some help with the rear arms and lowering the suspension etc. I remember meeting someone by chance whom had a couple hardtops and a CR, Ira I believe you knew him; he was pretty close.

Thanks guys

Yes, his name is Matt, nas2kcr. You might want to PM him or djmike. Both have done it before and are close to you! I have some family stuff going on through the weekend so I likely won't be much help :-/

Thanks, Ira! I'd rather wait and see if they offer first as opposed to asking!

All done Friday, will post some pics soon. Ride height is perfect, not too low, about one finger gap, down from two.

Car feels great, little bumpy, and sometimes bouncy like coil-overs, but Skyline, Newberry road etc. felt fantastic, they really are a 'progressive' spring. When the car steps out it is much slower and more natural as opposed to snapping. Some of the dartiness of stock has gone, which def. inspires more confidence.

Thanks to Ira and Djmike for offering your services and checking up to make sure things were going okay!
