Its very easy if you did it yourself, and you would appreciate the work after, you would need an off set wrench 17mm and if its craftmans it will have a 19mm which would be for the front shocks and one allan wrench 6mm. To start off the job start with the rear very simple, loosen up the bottom screw to the shock and use a jack to lower the shock while the car is up. Switch the spring and then start on the other side. The front is simple, some people take off the crowl but you wouldn't need to if you had the off set. Try it and you will learn more about your car, good luck buddy.

There's a blizzard going on now so I guess today is out of the question. Let me know if anyone can do it this week. I'm available anytime after 6pm or all day friday.

He ignored you because he knows your sunning it up in Puerto Rico, while we're suffering the cold harsh NE winters, jaja.
Some people aren't into DIY. How long does it take to change out the front springs?
Not to hijack your tread, but keeping it on topic.. Cuidate.

45-60 minutes

[kelevra]

Would that be me doing it (pretty good mechanical skillZ), or my local Tech?
I wouldn't mind saving some labor costs if I could pull it off myself if it is easy enough.

That sounds about right, 45min to an hour, as long as you got a spring compessor you are good, and yeah its hot today lol, holla at me

as long as you got a spring compessor you are good

...and an impact wrench, either air or electric. Job is sooo much easier with an impact wrench.

You got that right, but I used old fashion elbow grease to get the job done, but the impact wrench is a life saver too

Pls tell us how your springs work, I got a dilemma between TRD and Tanabe springs, I dono which to choose. I want my ride lower but dont know which springs are best.

[WeeYari]

TRD. Tanabe too squishy. Also, unless it is the look you like, Tanabe drop ~.2" lower in the back than the front. TRD is an equal drop on all four corners.
