Should do your own supsension..a shop is going to charge you out the ___ for it. How long do you think it would take you, and what tools are you missing? 9/1/2005 7:12:20 AM |

do you know how to do the work? IE: i'll provide the tools, space, and help and you provide the knowledge to actually do it? 9/1/2005 8:59:09 AM |

are they lowering springs? you might not need a spring compressor to put them together, you should be able to install them with a floor jack and hand tools. air would be better, but not necessary.
might want to get an alignment after. 9/1/2005 9:09:57 AM |

Suspension is not that difficult. Just rent a spring compressor, and if you have a decent set of tools, you won't have a problem. 9/1/2005 12:15:39 PM |

yeah i don't have a good set of wrenches or a torque wrench or a lift. scrager, you still offering space to do it? i'll rent the compressor if you don't have it. 9/1/2005 4:28:08 PM |
