I want to go with HR Springs but it seems like KYB is the the only strut/shock available for our cars except for Koni $$$. I need a list of whats needed to do it right ....... thanks

you dont need a spring compressor...it isnt necessary but for safety when taking off the old strut top nuts

I am sure it can be done without the compressors but why take the chance, they rent them for free. If these people get injuries from following your (lack of) advice im sure they'll be looking for you. EDIT: perhaps with one eye. lol

QUOTE (14:19:21) Daniel: That was a JDM hole in the side of the box too. There was so much JDM trapped inside that box that they couldn't contain it, so they had to put a JDM hole in the box to let the JDM out. QUOTE Ferdi says (11:29) No, it looks like a hooker put her acid vag on your hood. Acid vag = bigger problem than a few dings. |
