I just got my Prodrive springs in the mail today for my 05 WRX now I just need to get them installed. Can anyone here install them for me for cheap or know where to go. I dont have much money because I am saving up for some Rotas. Thanks Matt
i can help.. i just did mine with some assistance. but i know what to do now. i just dont have tools..... and of corse i wouldnt charge
anyway.. major tools u will need are various socket and ratcheting wrenchs jack stands, atleast 2..and 2 or more spring compressors. and a cheater bar
I have a garage if you want to do it in my garage. Matt i have a aircompressor, air tools, wrenches, sockets, jack stands, jack. Call me if you want to do this here. All you need to do is get the spring compressor from phil. EDIT: I think that one of my Uncles have a spring compressor. I will talk to him and see if he does Ill know by tonight.
I would do this if there is someone there who knows how to do this. Im 17 and your 16 i dont want to just try to throw these on even if you think you know how. If we can get the compressor and somebody is willing to help ill be there.
I will have to see when i work but maybe next weekend if it works out. If you go to Firestone tomorrow i can talk to you there, ill be out there but it will be a little later.
You really don't even need a spring compressor. There is so little preload on subaru springs that you can use an impact wrench to get the top-nut off the strut and then just have someone lean on it (a big friend is handy for this) to put the new springs on and get everything together. I've done 5 or 6 sets this way. If you don't get it done this weekend let me know, I'll help sometime next week.
