I've picked up a set of VOGLAND springs and need help to install them. not sure how to do it myself since i'm new to this but willing to try. i've tried many auto shops and they're charging me $150-$250. the mechanics said the rear suspension is hard to do but dunno if its true. thnx in advance for the help

 

The mechanic is full of shit...the back takes 5 minutes...you got pm bro.

 

wow the back only takes 5min to do so i guess its not that hard. can some one give a complete walkthrough for the whole process

 

yo doug just got your pm and thnks for the info. i'll try it this weekend when i have time. afterward i'll try to post some pix of my sweeet little baby

 

The back should take about 5 minutes to do becuase you don't have to take the spring off of the struts. The front should take about 30 minutes...

you got another pm...good luck bro.

 

Can you guys show me how too?

 

hey did any of you guys cut the bump stops to shorten them?

 

Try this Thread
At first I thought it would be hard since it was a different setup than the civic & integra. Took a good 1hr 30min since I had to compress the springs & the rear is the easiest thing to do.

 

always cut the bump stops if your lowering, i usualy cut half or 3/4 off

 

yeah me too, just reminding you guys to cut it also

 

this should help you out visually...

Tutorial on installing lowering springs

 

WOW, that was horable. that was like trying to learn somthing on TV but on mute. Can i get a PM of some Written out directions?

 

Use the following to install your springs if you have more questions just ask.

Suspension

 

no spring compressor?? Ballsy!

 

Total install for me took about 2 1/2 hours for eibach springs. it was my first ever car springs install so it was a learning process (i had springs on my integra but someone else did it) and I also had the help of Rcantu. Front took sooooooo long because compressing the springs and back took like 10-15 min. But yeah paying over 100 bucks for someone to install springs on your car is absurd. Invest that money in a good set of tools and start learning how to work on your car

 

i do agree you should learn to work on your own car. i dont agree that paying someone 100 bucks for a spring install is. you are paying someone for the fact that they have years of experience, tools and ability when you do not. if you cant do it yourself you cant put a price on it.

that being said , its an easy install if you have the mechanical skills. if you dont then it may be well worth your cash to have someone else take care of it in a much more timely manner .

 

thanks for all the great links guys!

 

So....


Should I not try this alone?

Everyone is busy tomorrow (that would be useful) and I don't want to wait a week... but I definitely will if this isn't a solo job.

Thanks.
