Or not LOL

you could also remove the strut assemblies and take them to a shop and have them put the springs on, then just reinstall them.

Thats a good deal considering a 4 wheel alignment will cost you about $80 by itself.

Oh I also HIGHLY recommend this Whiteline Front Roll Center Adjustment Kit Subaru Models (inc. 2002-2011 WRX / STI) at RallySportDirect.com

and I have ball joint removal tool

Installing springs isn't hard, just need a GOOD spring compressor I borrowed some really hard to use ones from kragen and ittook forevr so I returned them- borrowed some from a friend that were super simpleto use and it took me like an hour or so to swap the spring on one corner)

Hardest part besides using the compressor is gettin the shock back into the brake hub imo ...get drunk and enjoy it, it was pretty fun ha
