Its really not that hard. It just sounds scary cus its your suspension. I found it easier then when i installed my short shifter...of course springs took longer but theres not much to it.

if i order springs/install before you i will lend you a hand. found out my moms bf has a jack and jack stands, so i will be ordering springs again and doing them. hopefully it doesnt have to wait til tax return time, haha but it may. axel shouldnt be a problem if secured properly. there is a couple good diy out there now for install.

I just recently bought a jack and 2 jackstands for future use. If we all did it then we can get it done soon especially if we put the whole car on jackstands lmao then someone can work on something. Anyone got a garage big enough?? hahaha

I have a garage big enough. I think we should plan a mod day, I know the S2k guys always have mod days, there isnt any reason why we cant.

Brad chime in anytime.

let me know WAY AHEAD OF TIME! I usually get 1 months of a schedule so its a bit harder for me to work around those times. Sometimes i can make a way and sometimes i just cant So yeah I'm also down for this guys. I am also curious on how long it would be from Silver Spring to where your house is Chris.

It prob gunna be sort of a hike for everyone. For all the guys up in DC/MD area. I would recommend taking Route 17 instead of 495/95. Youll miss all traffic, I promise. Plus if were meeting in Gloucester, it runs right through.

Meh...you dont NEED to have something to mod. These should be more about getting to know the community and learning more about our cars.

Thought it is nice to have something new to put on the fit

I think if i'm gonna do this its gonna have to be worth it 3 hours is a hike like crap!!!! unless its like curvy roads all the way, then i won't complain Ok to make this a little easier on you guys I say sometime feb would be fine. Maybe like mid feb. I got some vacation time to use and no money to go special places lol I'm taking off a week in feb maybe like the whole 2nd week.

edit: hopefully the snow doesnt come when we choose a date.
