How To Install Lowering springs
 
Hey I Got My Springs Today and i got my back ones on but i cant seem to get my front any idea how?

you'll need a spring compressor, some places rent them out but I'd recommend paying a shop to do it, there's a whole lot of pressure in a compressed spring and if you make a mistake or get a broken spring compressor you could end up hurt pretty bad or even dead :eek:

ok so i have to remove the shock? and then compress the spring?

yeah, once you get the spring compressed undo the nut on top of the strut, then compress the new spring a put it back together

just so you know, you'll probably end up having to do this again soon if you're sticking with stock struts, the lowering springs make them go back sooner
