hi guys, has part of my winter projects, id like to install my h&r springs on the c4s,

for those who've done it, how much time did it takes you? how hard was the job?

thanks

ivangene

spring only?

so for a first timer the fronts took 1.5 hr ea and the rears about 1 hour each - not rushing or trying to be quick/fast

spring compressor is a must, doing one wrong and re-doiong it is also a must (I guess )

straight to the alignment shop

thx for the quick reply,
any spring compressor would do the job or i need a specific one?

ivangene

any is ok - toughest part is spring disassembly IMO... a little nervous with a loaded cannon!

Get a spring compression tool set or the load cannon is what you will have going off.

1-1.5 hrs each corner is about right for the first timer...

Best of luck and enjoy the time with your car.

I meant the spring compressor was the loaded cannon - I hate those things!

If you get them on properly they work great. The cannon (in my mind) is the spring loaded against the Hat an someone not delaing with that kenetic energy sitting there waiting to go off...

Now if you don't get the compressor tool in right (or use cheap ones) ... you just light the fuse on that kenetic cannon.
