if i get lowering springs can someone help me install them?

 

I would love to find out how to, so if you get someone to help you let me know, I may come out and learn how. I'm wanting to drop the S40 about an inch.

 

I would help yall if i was close but i am up in austin

 

I can help too but we might need to rent a spring compressor or something. I'll have to look at the How-To threads in the Under The Hood forum.

 

you dont need a spring compressor.

its really simple to do. Just make sure you preload the springs..

 

Don't you preload them with the spring compressor or are you referring to pushing down on the car with the new springs and then tightening everything down?

 

i think my dad has some spring compressor that he used to use back in the day for his RX-3

 

Yes, you DO need a spring compressor to get the stock springs off... Are you going to replace shocks at the same time?

I am 3/4 of the way done with replacing the ENTIRE suspension (all upper and lower arms, balljoints, shocks, sway bar, etc, etc) on an '00 S2000 that I just picked up on Friday. It's really not hard work. I do have a spring compressor, as well.

 

yea that too but ive done without a spring compressor..and then use a jack to preload them.. Justin and I have done them before..

 

well i might be getting some soon so yeah maybe we can have a lil bar b q at my place and do the springs or anywhere else
