Default Raine's Garage Guides: Spring Install How-To

Hey everyone!

Here's my latest guide (December 02, 2006) for installing springs on an SC coupe. Unlike most other installs, this one requires NO A-ARM REMOVAL.

You can find it (and the other stuff I wrote) at my garage guide website:

http://garage.projectraine.com

NOTE: I might have some bolt sizing wrong, because I'm trying to look for my notes (somewhere in the garage) but I think I got most of them right. If you have a socket set, then don't worry - there's no odd sizing.

Enjoy and email me a note from the site if you like it. I also changed the upper graphic to show my car with the springs and wheels

Very nice! I will be doing this myself as soon as my springs come in. But will also be repacing shocks.

Yes, a slight roll, no pull... I'm running 275's on 10.5" rears
