#185, "How hard to install springs/struts"




          

I asked a friend to help install my skunk2's and tokico hps in a couple weeks when they arrive and he said he will try, but he said it was a bitch on his talon and another eclipse they did. He said installing the rears is cake, but couldnt get the fronts. Any help??

i got my illuminas and tokico springs in pretty easily... the only problem was getting the bolts off. I think you need 9/16", 17mm, and 14mm. its the 17mm ones that are a real b*tch. just use a breaker bar and savce yourself several hours... and plenty of WD40. i didnt use a spring compressor. i just followed the advice on vfaq.com. it wasnt too bad, and i did mine alone. jack stands help a lot. -Irfan
