Talk to the guys at i-Speed if you can't handle it yourself

well Ihave done some on a hoduh but they where coil overs and I had a spring compresser and I had someone who knew how to do them. Know here I have no one and somebody said it takes a mc pherson 'special' spring compressor for wrx. So I think I'll pass on this one. I just called MPJ and talked to andrew he said $150 and at 10 tuesday the 18th.
So I will be at MPJ tues.

Thanks - Miguel

It's not as hard as some say it is. I had Tommy tell me how and it went smoothly. The stock springs don't have a lot of tension on them. You just use 2 tires on each side of the spring it hold it in place and than a slight pop. Just make sure you mark where you took the top hat off. I didn't so I had some hiccups but I fixed that. But yea, Andrew does good work.

Man, he's been getting some business hasn't he? If he was closer to the easy bay, I'd be refering him too, but for Miguel here, it's easier to just stop in Hayward, the extra 35 miles to SJ might not be worth it... but Hey Miguel, the guy is good. If i think i know who you're talking about Trickster...
