[gtcelica94]

[slipgun]

its really quite easy if you wana try it yourself....

[Blakout16]

yeah its actually really simple... even coomer could do it and he's not very mechanically inclined.

[gtcelica94]

dont i need a spring compressor?

[slipgun]

nope, only the front springs need to be compressed while you put them on, not off... just use a heavy friend.

you can rent one from advanced autos or something.

[gtcelica94]

lol nah im not gonna do this. i remmber my friend doing a civic way back when and a spring flying through the air.. but what you guys think. like 1 150 to get it put on

[playr158]

it won't go flying through the air
cause they really arn't under much pressure
i did mine and i purposly tried to get it to shoot out

wow i think it moved like 1 foot?!
its really easy just do it yourself

i think a mech will want like 400$

i didnt use a spring compresor for either side, if your lowering the springs arent as long as the stock so you dont have to put much pressure putting it back together, i highly recommend using air tools or your gonna have a nightmare with the rear.

[playr158]

you don't have to have air tools
i've never used an air tool on my celica

and i've ripped my suspension apart 2+ times
just need a breaker bar

[LewFX]

well just in case some people arent as strong as you or me!

I can tell you that a shop will charge you 6 hours labor... 3 hours for the rear and 3 hours for the front. I think it's pretty outrageous but that's the book rate.

true that. except first time was with air tools and no spring compressor. second i was bymyself with handtools and my lovely breaker bar and no spring compressor. it really isnt that bad.

[rjbibeau]

i saw my friend's probe spring hit the garage door with the impact. awesome sight.. but ya tge celis springs are not compressed that much. easy i've done it twice.

[JKceli]

Like it was said, they will charge you 3 hours for the front and 3 hours for the rear in labor. So ballpark figrue you are looking at close to $400 which is why everyone is telling you to do it yourself.
