ya i got several different types of tools.... large torque gun.. and then a tight space smaller air gun for tight spots... good old grinders all sizes and the good ole air chissle to punch those stuborn suckers out!


BUT in all fairness.... ill find out as soon as i get my drop stuff

it ill be a learning experience none the less... but im doing the timing belt at the same time so its gonna be a double wammy learning experience
the drop stuff im preaty sure i can do no real problems but the motor in such a tight space might kick my butt for awhile...

 

haha, yeah... i tackled 2 at once also. i did my new brakes including new calipers and all and then the coilovers too. needless to say the car was on jackstands for 2 and a half days, lol. it was sooooo worth it though, lol

 

ya my timing belt looks good BUT for only about 150bucks its good safety precaution.... cause even tho some people say the newer d16Y8s should clear the valves if the belt snaps...... BUT without a definate i dont wanna risk it myself.LOL

 

So even though my springs and struts ere used I'm pretty sure they just settled more because now in the front I have to angel my fingers up to get them in there I dont have any tuck thank god but maybe i'm halucinating. I'll check again tomorrow.

 

looks great, i have tokico struts and springs on my hatch but didn't get the drop i wanted. so i might go with s techs later looks like you had a good place to do the work and air tools really help

 

Yah air tools would have been nice but there wasn't a whole lot of volts my BFH couldn't get loose with a little knocking. Heres a question so when I go do my alignment should I have my 17's on or just the 15's on i have for winter is it better to do the alignment with the wheels you use the most or does it even matter?

 

doesn't matter

 

Ok Heres the updated pics with my summer rims back on i think it looks better now. I love this setup anyone whos is going to buy s techs and blues I say do it. You won't regret it at all.

 

how did the install go?

 

why the hell would you use those clamps to compress the springs? You can rent a real tool for that at autozone. I'm glad you're OK, but I hope you realize that you just got very lucky. If the clamp slipped - you could have got severely injured. Do you work under your car while it's supported by a jack?

Expect your suspension to settle a bit. I do hope that you changed those struts
