is that 250-450 for install? Jeez i thought it would be under 2 bills at most. Beauty sure is painful..

 

yea just for install, 250 was the cheapest...installation is like double of how much the springs was. so ill be doing it myself this weekend..

 

Here's a crappy cell phone pic of the drop about 5 days after install. Definitely lower than any other spring I researched which I like.

 

I just finished installing a pair on stock shocks myself and it went very smooth on the fronts, but the rears I had to call backup!!! Its very difficult to line up the bolt back in. Someone has to stand on the rotor while the other tries to line it up.

Finally got it, nice ride and nice drop too. The rears look a bit lower than my fronts. I kinda like it the other way around CA style demon drop, but oh well.

Good luck!!

 

I did the install by myself and it want too hard. You will need a compressor to take off the stock springs. If you have a Harbor Freight around you, you can buy a spring compressor set for $15 that way you have a set for yourself. As far as the rears you will have to unbolt the filler neck inside the trunk which is easy. The hardest part is probably loosening the nut on top of the strut tower. The trick is to break the nut loose while the strut is still on the car then take the strut off of the car and compress the spring then take the nut off the strut. At least thats what worked for me. Then on the rear you might have trouble putting the bolt back in the bottom of the strut. This is where your g/f will come in handy. Have her push down on the rotor while you slide the bolt thru the control arm. Other than those 2 things its easy as pie. Also you dont need the compressor to install the Espelir springs. Make sure you preload before you drop the car back down and you should be good to go.

 

thanks yall. ill take some b4/after pics and how much it lowered after a week or two for it to settle. im starting on it 2moro, kinda excited and nervous haha

savesaday - thanks for that tip on breaking the nut loose b4 i pull the struts out, i was wondering how hard it would be . how did you preload yours? i was going to do it by jacking up the control arm, but how far am i suppose to jack it up?

 

jack it up until the car barely lifts off the jackstand then tighten

 

yup, thats what i did. Also make sure you get an alignment after the springs settle. Probably about 2 weeks. My car drove much better after the alignment.

 

thanks, yall really cleared up what i was a little confused on.

oh i forgot one more thing. which bolts/nuts is supposed to be torqued for the preload, just the two topmount nuts right?

 

got em done! bad news, i didnt take the before pictures oh well. got done in 4 1/2 hrs by myself. fronts took me about 3hrs (running around looking for tools) and rears about 1 1/2 hr. definetly lower..

thanks to all that answered...
