Well today was going to be the day I did my suspension swap. I have a Haynes manual, read all the post I could and still it's whoop'n me. I've managed to only remove one strut today and haven't even got it back in the car.
Plan was to swap out my stock gl suspension with SVT springs and new stock struts. I also am "planning" on changing my 4 bolt LCAs.
Here are my problems. I can get the strut re-assembled to put it back in the car. Stazi's instructions say that you don't have compress the spring to reassemble it but I can't see how to without compressing it. However the crappy spring compressors that I rented from Autozone are a beating to use. I am only using hand tools (no air) so I know that it will take longer but dang! The compressor keep slipping off the spring and at one point can loose and caught my finger in a bind. My left ring finger feels like I ran it over.
Iam not sure what help I expect at a 8:45 on a Saturday night. I am just desperately hoping I can get this all back together by Monday so I can go to work. Looks like if I can just get the fronts done this weekend I'll do the rears next weekend.
Just a whoop'n boys.
Jon
