I got some tein high tech springs that I could use some help with. If you have some free time I would appreciate the help and I do not have a spring compressor

 

You can rent spring compressors at Kragen and Auto Zone. Like $40.

 

This.

Not only that, but when you return the compressor, they give you your money back. Pretty good deal IMO.

 

Si si. I've done that before. Pay cash, get it right back when ur done.

 

As long as you return them in the same shape as you got them of course...lol.

 

haha ya true. Or be macho and just use ur hands like a man!

 

I did the macho thing and used my hand for some tein s techs! If your putting lowering springs you won't need the spring compressor with the stock struts!!

 

I wouldn't chance it, the slightest pressure on the top nut could crossthread or strip the threading coming up the tophat.

 

Haha, or use three people and zip ties. That's what I did for getting stock springs on my sti struts long ago. I'll see if I can find a picture of the ghettoness.

This. Be very careful threading AND torquing the top hat. You can blow your threads too easy.

 

F the threads you can bust out some teeth doing the above. I would be safe and use the compressors to take the stock springs off. Trust me I've seen it before.

 

Haha...very true. We let the big guy play catcher.

 

LOL dangggg! I'm going to SpeedElement on tuesday to install my s.tech's and also an Invidia Downpipe. I guess you saved at least $150

 

You should throw away those s-techs. Distance yourself from them as much as possible!!!

 

you can come to fresno an ill install them for a small fee

 

Oh man F installing springs! Dude jus save up and get coilovers, promise its less of a headache..in my opinion..lol
