Spring install help

[jinxor]

Anyone has a spring compressor around that I can borrow for the install?
If you have dont it, I would like you to come over so that we can do it together and have a beer or two... what say?

[Masteraal]

[jinxor]

lolz... ok...
Tell me when can we meet so that I can borrow it from you... Cheers...

How about you come to the meet on 31st on Saturday at Villawood.
It is hosted by the Toyota Owners Club... 8pm?

[Masteraal]

i might come to that.. depends how fucked i am after cricket lol

where abouts do u live?

[jinxor]

i live in westmead... but i can meet you somewhere in between my and your place

JUST BE CAREFUL!!! changing springs is one of the most dangerous thing! I've told Masteraal so many times! so if you guys are doing it, make sure you guys do it really careful!

spring hitting you on the face = knock out or even death!

[jinxor]

whoa, that sounds friggin dangerous as hell,
does that happen even with the spring compressor?

[spookz]

No, I would say if you use the spring compressors properly, then you'd be fine and not have springs in your face. LOL

Maybe just follow the DIY in by Chris07LB.

In saying that, I don't think I'd have the guts to change springs myself. Or any suspension part for that matter.. it seems to be such a vital part of the car, I'll leave it to the experts.. ahah

But good luck mate =P

I thought of leaving it to the experts.... Went to a couple of mechanic's, they quoted between 200 and 500. That did not include wheel alignment...which is bullocks....

I guess at times like these, who think, you should always have a mechanic friend :cry: :cry:

ask how much just front suspension will cost
rears are piss easy and takes 10mins to do

[jinxor]

good idea
ill do that

[deejai]

hey mate where abouts do you live.kus im lookin to get sum springs also.i have a mate who's done springs installation before

[jinxor]

im in parra area...
Also, I have done the rear springs myself... need help now with the front ones

[spookz]

Hey Jit, just curious, how does the car handle with just the rear lowered?

Anyhow, get the fronts done asap! Your ride will look even better once lowered =D

Goodluck.

[jinxor]

sure man... with the back lowered, the ride is nice... just feels raised from the front....
sharp turns are no problems...
The biggest problem so far is that I have the halo projectors.. which were meant to point down, now they point straight in the eye... lolz
