Spring instillation assistance

I would like to install springs on my 03 WRX what I would like to know is can I just remove the factory springs and put aftermarket ones on or do I have to do any modifications or buy any extra parts to make them work.

Thanks

There is nothing you need to buy. I did a lowering springs install in my own garage with no air tools in under 4 hours.

Just a spring compressor would help with the fronts if this is a solo effort.

Auto-Zone has some you can rent for free. ($42 deposit, which you get back if you return them... of you just bought a set for $42.)

Just good to use in a swap. Especially if you're alone putting the top hat back on... kinda hard to compress the whole strut with one hand and aligning the strut top trying to thread the top bolt with your other hand.

from what I know and im not sure but you do need to realign and to do this you need to get a set of camber bolts to reset the alignment.

*shrug*
something like that, but i would like it clarified.

thanks for the info about the spring compresser and autozone
