Putting on the lowering springs today just got the rear done taking a pee break and hitting the fronts. More to come.
hooo! Damn IRS!

you took on the much harder of the two first. the fronts are MUCH easier.
Just make EXTRA sure you get an alignment afterward, **4 WHEEL**, cause after I did mine, I had a MEAN toe-in condition on the rear, that caused my rear tires to be consumed within 10,000 miles (going easy on them), very important for IRS.

Helped a friend do his, and remember that the rears were a bitch!

What all is involved in doing the rears? I'd like to do this myself, or at least with some help without having to take it to a shop. This is my first IRS car, and the more money I can keep in my pocket, the more money I can use for goodies.
Its not that hard to do. Get a spring compressor, yea, you can do it without one, but why ???
I rented on for 10 bux and it was worth every penny.
It took me a about 2 1/2 hours to do the front and the back by myself.

9 hours with a one hour break got it all done. Had alot of problems with the spring compressor. The stupid shaft was bent. So check your shaft before you rent a spring compressor. Damn it looks nice though.
