The springs will be here tomorrow and shocks have been delayed until Thursday. I have had a few unofficial offers so I thought I would post the official thread. Anyone want to guide me through this on Saturday? It's worth beer and pizza :chug:

I'll help ya... but it's gotta be early in the day. And we need someone that knows what they're doing!
Early is great...okay we have a time (8am). Location and tools and intelligence:study: is now needed.
I have plenty of tools and the location.
Just need the know-how. I've did mine but I'm not familiar with NBs (probably the same damned thing but I'd rather err on the side of safety!)
I'd love to come and help out, but I'll be in Paris (Texas, that is... :? ) all day watching my nephew play baseball.
What part of town will this session be in?
I can drop in and offer encouragement (or swear on your behalf, depending on progress), though I likely won't be able to get anywhere until 11am or so.
Spring compressors are available, should you need a set.
Frisco...in a garage
Contact Tailchaser and see if he's got his spring compressors available!
You'll be up here soon enough shopping neighborhoods!Quote:

Thanks guys for the help. :clap:
I have a service appointment with the stupid cable guy. I really feel like blowing it off though. I have a set of spring compressors. 8 sounds good so we can get out of there. I figure if I do that all day, then try and autoX sunday, I might be in trouble... :flower:
anybody got a digital camera, maybe you guys can take a few snaps of taking of the springs and struts and post them on here, i'm looking fowards to my new coilovers... might be helpful if i had some mental notes.
Disregard if you already have some.
I was just curious if you ever got a set of shock boots for your install?
If not as I mentioned before I have a set in pretty good shape i will give ya from when I did my install a couple of months ago.
When I took them of they had like 40k but looked to be in real good shape and the price is right (free), just come get them.
I also have all the tools needed including an impact wrench, 2 floor jacks and 4 jack stands that I could loan you.,..the only thing I dont have is the spring compressor.
Just let me know if I can help.
IIRC, TtT's car is new(ish). Boots he has will be fine.Quote:

Torgue Wrench is at the ready...

Is that the same thing as a torque wrench or is it something you can use orally :scratch:Quote:
