Any experts at installing springs around?

And have a spring compressor? And can lend me a hand? Got some new FSTi pinks to throw on. Broke but can pay in beer.

A good number of people have done springs here, so I'm sure someone can help you out

I'm gone this weekend otherwise I'd volunteer. How much of a hurry are you in to have them done?

If I were going to be around this weekend, I would suggest that we borrow a spring compressor from advanced auto in MD off of 210 and do the swp in the commuter parking lot where we did the last install meet. I mean the one that I didn't get us kicked out of.

I have new springs but I just don't think I'll get to them with all the other stuff going on the car next week. I'll be back in DC by next weekend (Sept. 10-11) and will be ready to have an mod that you can actually see without the hood open. might even be open to the comuter lot install (with lots of sun screen!)...

Bummer...what about Tuesday? I won't be back until then...if you can't do it on Tuesday it can wait for another day

I still have my grill mod that I need to finish up and give my Forester a face lift.

If you guys do the install after the 10th I'd really like to see it.

Sorry to hear you're away every weekend. I'm actually reinstalling the stock springs on my WRX this weekend. If I can get some time this week I'll try and make it out to help ya man. Where are you going to be doing the install?

Ack, I totally forgot about this

Have you found a spring compressor? After doing Colin's springs this weekend, we'll definitely need them. In his case, we were able to do them w/o the compressor, but I don't know how big the springs you have are (his were a pretty big drop).

Hey Colin, did you take a pic of your 4 wheeler?!?!?!

No, we will definitely need a spring compressor for my springs. Probably just rent some if i can't find someone to lend them to me.

How long can you wait? Colin might loan you his if you are really nice

He'll be at the meet next monday and we could pick it up then. It makes life so much easier!
