Lol. Meh it's not that bad right now. As long as it's not raining. Kick me a few bucks and I am happy to spend part of my weekend to help.

you know what, with like 5 guys working on a single car, like one at each corner and maybe 1 prepping the new stuff you could probably do a car in an hour from parking to test ride.

we did this once in highschool...called it "suspension-fest"

The longest part of any suspension install is adjusting the height since you have to jack the car up adjust put it back down repeat over and over to get it at the right spot.

And then after that it was a "crash fest"?

DFV's at the recommended settings are about an inch lower than stock. You can go +/- 15mm from there, but I'm not sure if that's at the shock, or at the wheel (ride height).

I just set mine as recommended and put them on. I may raise the car a half inch this spring. I like a little more clearance for driveways and things in the road.

Good info on raising the springs - I have a steep driveway also.

Maybe Spets and I can get together and do a joint tech day. I'm sure a lift would be a hell of a lot easier than jacking a car up and down yeah?
