shock/spring install complete

well I started today at noon and finished at around 8 this evening. Everything was easy except the bottom bolts, I used a breaker bar (aka a 2 foot long 1/2 inch socket wrench) to get it loose after spraying it with wd-40. Much thanks to 1StGenCL's tutorial it got me started in the right direction and was all downhill from there. I will try to post pics tomorrow when I can use the dig. camera.

Congrats!

Doesn't it feel good to do it yourself?

Look forward to the pics!

Dulux..I just did my spring yesterday. It's nice when the Air Force has impact wreches and a hydrolic lift to let me use. It cut the time by about 1/4. We have the same exact cars. Crazy I tell you.
