Things you will need are:

jack
and about 4 hours of time


How to install the rear spring
1.Begin by taking off the rear deck there are 3 bolts take the nuts off all 3. (look at pic 1)
2.Take the clip off the brake line with a screw driver it just pops off.(pic 2)
3.Take off the nut that is connected to the linkage of the sway bar it's very tight.(pic 3)
4.Take off the 2 nuts that are connected to the rotor also very tight (pic 4)
5.The spring will fall out now use your spring compresser and compress the spring and take the top nut off. (pic 5)

if you just look at the strut the install is pretty easy. remove all bolts, remove strut. replace spring. put it back on.

mods have to move the threads there.

There is another how to posted in the pic/vid section...mathew's DG grill install (how to).

common mods/admin...this might help someone out! This is good stuff.

 

[EVILSRT]

Ill move it.

 

[eting_pro5]

No one can post in the How To section (at least i can't!) The mods have to move it in there. This keeps dumb s*** (such as my very own How To make cheap holiday gifts out of pop cans) from flooding this section

(rofl) I just tried selling a coke can motorcycle on ebay... Amazingly enough, no body wanted it..

 

[GearSlammer]

no need for alignment?

 

[PHILLY-ORANGE]

No my alignment was fine

 

[mp5smuggler]

looks good

 

[Laser03pro]

OMG looks easy as hell and i thought installing springs on my camaro was easy.

 

[Gbourdon]

I did all four eibachs in around 3 hours over the weekend. First time I have ever done springs before. I rented a spring compressor and didn't even use it. Front was hella easy. (rockon)

 

[t3ase]

For as much grief as I give you, thanks for the how-to, Philly. It'll come in handy.
