I'M DONE ( with the backsprings anyway)

Thanks for the advice, i think the back dropped a teeny already, hopefully some more in a week or so. (i know it doesnt do much) I had no idea how bad my stock springs were. I went to my school to test out the bumps and the rear did great. It was totally stiff and felt great.

Patience. The fronts can be a pain. This would be also the best time to do struts, ball joints and lower control arm bushings if they are bad.

While you are in there, check all of your steering and suspension. ( tie rods, bushings, sway bar struts, wheel bearings,(grease those), brake pads, rotors etc.)).

PB blast everything the day before.

Oh, man, you're doing the fronts, too?!?

You'll need patience, a huge wrench, an air wrench, a friend, and a catholic priest. Just kidding. It's pretty straight-forward, but post a new thread when you get into that. I'm sure more users here would find it in a search if titled correctly.

good luck,
