spring ???
i recently installed some after market shocks and springs
when compressed you cant remove the spring compressor
easily you got to spin it by force (rubber mallet) to a area
with more clearance, this is very time consuming and
damages the spring (well the spring look anyway) i rented
the spring compressor from auto zone, there has got to be
an easier way...HELP!!!
wat?
use a different spring compressor, not much else you can do
ya i guess, i mean does every1 mess up the compressor trying to do this

i mean sliding the spring compressor down to a spot with enough clearance to remove it mess's up the spring cover i mean my brand new springs looks old now, and i want to cut half a coil off and doing this again is just gonna SUCK!!
so u had to compress the aftermarket spring to put it on?
SKUNK2 yes sir i did
thats weird, i have no suggestions, but gl with it!
no way around it as its a pain in the ass. and my friends cant understand why i dont want to lower their cars anymore on my own free time without atleast a little compensation.
use an impact gun if ya can. it makes it at least faster than rachet wrenches...
ya man my right side, i only got about four turns because i couldn't compress that bitch no more
no ones gonna see the spring anyway..just handle with care and you'll be alright..
riding low is like a religion
i no i no its just ugly
damn, the height from that picture you really do need to lower the hatch
if you have to compress a lowering spring... how much lower you going to get?????
You can take the whole assembly out and take it to a shop with a hydraulic spring compressor and they can swap 'em out for you... you'll have to pay a little $$$ but your springs will still look new and all you have to do is bolt 'em back in
yes it'll scratch your springs but its just a couple of scratch nothing else to it...
that's odd you have to compress a lowering spring, i have never done that before and i have had several types. from tein,eibach,hr,skunks. that's really weird., but a couple scratches isn't gonna hurt them
Damn homie.. Hit me tomorrow.. Ill come threw if you havent finished already
just my point, if you have to compress a lowering spring then its not going to lower! l0l
