    Sprang

    I've installed a set of Prodrives on my '02 along with an additional front passenger top hat swap. Also did a mazda speed spring install on an '04 Mazda 6.

    I did both of the above installs with a friend of mine by using instructions printed off of Scoobymods.com. Its fairly straight forward and as long as you have an extra set of hands, a can of PB Blaster, and the right tools its very doable having never seen it done first hand.

    I currently have a set of KYB AGX struts waiting to be installed paired with the prodrives. Install pending for the upcoming weekend. Hopefully that is.

    So its a very possible DIY project.

    Bump for this!:banana: Dave is great other then when we did my struts Saturday and he lowered the jack just so the tires touched alil and stepped back and said "Chet that is higher than stock!". He let me believe that the struts were really that high for oh about 10 minutes then said "I said lower the jack all the way down".

    Springs are pretty easy. If you can wait a week I should be able to help you out. I have done suspension on my car twice, and on a GD twice. try and get an alignment after its done though.

    +1 Dave did mine. Now that I've been through the process I wouldn't hesitate to do it myself.

    I had Shineynitelite do mine. Don't expect your rear seat to be put back in properly though! ;)
