Just bought a new suspension.....

I just bought a new suspension for my 84(at least most of it)...

How hard it it to replace stuff like struts, springs, misc. bushings, idler arm bushings, lower control arm, etc.......

I expecting it to take about a day or two taking my time. Do you guys think That sounds about right??? I'm going to go up to autozone a rent a spring compressor(I think they rent those out)

I bought some Tokico Hp's and some Racing Beat springs. Anybody have any feedback on how these were to install???

its not hard, but if the bottom of your car was rusted out as bad as mine was have fun. its no good when a grown man needs a long *** wrench and a 2ft long poll to take off bolts that were torqued on at 25 lb.ft.
