H&R Sport Spring Install

Anyone in the Atlanta area want to teach me to install H&R sport springs? I have read the DYI but lack all tools to make this happen. Willing to compensate in beer of choice.


Sincerely,

Adam Kopley

Compressors can be had for cheap. Here is harbor freight version. Will work fine for one use. But i wouldn't go using them every weekend.

hardest part is compressing the springs. Be sure to use jack stands, cut the bumps stops and be slow and deliberate when compressing/decompressing the springs on the strut assembly.
Rears are super easy. Fronts are a little more difficult to do. GL

They rent (actually loan) a descent spring compressor at Autozone. The one at Advance Auto Parts isn't as good.

alot Bouncier. Better to go with a matched strut setup for tighter rebound and more predictability over anything other than smooth road.

Thats the truth.. I'm contemplating doing this as well but I am more concerned with entry and departure angles.

Did I meet you outside of 5 Paces in Buckhead the other night? Black e92 with black wheels?

That was me. I thought i recognized your user name when you said it (handle, as your girl called it) the other night, but didn't want to sound like a complete forum addict.
