Air chisel = better than hammer ;) |
Thanks for the info

NG8650, How do you like the ride now?
I put the Goldline springs on mine and Solstice wheels and I love it. The car rides soo much better smoother and corners better. Attachment 35862 Attachment 35863 Thanks, Curly |
Just an F.Y.I. for anyone adding lowering springs. An Air Hammer makes quick work of the two lower strut bolts. Just put the nut on backwards (Helps stop the hammer bit from wondering off the bolt), screw it down just shy of the end of the bolt and put the hammer bit on the bolt and hammer off. Takes about 2 seconds.
Pay attention to the orientation of the top spring cap when you remove it from the old spring. It is angled on one side. Don't do what I did. When I went to reinstall the new spring I put it on backward. I didn't figure that out till I did the other side. So I was awarded with the opportunity to do that side again. |

Also next Monday I'll take it to the alignment shop and let you know how much, if any, the alignment was out.
Ng I would like to install mine before vacation but I don't think I will have time for an alignment, If I need an alignment the install will just have to wait. |
