Can someone help me with a spring install this sunday?
Sometime this Sunday? Or next week?
Yup, if you have a spring compressor, that's all. They're Tanabe Springs, -2/-1.3 front/rear.
I'll order pizza and bring some beer in an icechest, and a few Best Motoring and drifting vcd/dvds for your viewing pleasure!
Thanks in advance,
Ambert

o, really? cool then, well help would still be appreciated but guess I'll try it on my own if no one responds.
Yeah I'll take after pics, I'm actually not sure if -2 inches in front is too much...

Verc, where are you? I've done a couple of spring installs on WRXs. No promises yet, but what time and where?

yeah vanessa, I'm finally using your springs lol!
yup, if you roadraced with these same set of springs, they can't be too low for me.
No I'm not changing out my struts, probably save up for STi suspension and then sell these springs sometime.
mmBoost, you have PM!

hey verc, if you aren't changing your struts, u might want to reconsider.....since u have a 2inch drop in the front, those will be killed without you knowing it. Most springs that work with stock struts are around 1.5 inches drop....dont take my word for it though, just what i've seen people post, haven't tried myself yet.
