I just purchased a set of Tein lowering springs for my IS and I think I'll attempt the install myself. Does anybody in the northwest suburbs general area have a set of spring compressors I can borrow for a couple of days?

Thanks,
Paul.

 

Call up Anthony at A&L Autobody and he can do it for ya. He is in Palatine and did my rear spoiler install. Tell him Vik with the Silver IS350 sent you.

Give Autozone a call, I think you can still rent them.

 

They're closed on weekends. I'll call him Monday. So an auto body shop does springs?

You are right. I just called them and they rent them for free.

 

No spring compressors needed if you know how to do it right. Are in somewhere in the NW burbs? If so, maybe I can give you a hand.

 

Luder94, I'm in Des Plaines. If you are available Monday or Tuesday I would really appreciate the help.

 

Here is a picture of the springs I'm putting in:


And here is why I was looking for a tire a few days ago:

I have no idea what did the damage but it must have been very sharp.

 

During the week I will be in Seattle, so I won't be able to help. If you don't have it done by the weekend, I can/will be free on Saturday. In fact, I may have some suspension work of my own to be done before Sunday's lunch meet.

 

OK, I'll let you know if I don't have it done by the weekend.

 

I believe so. When I was thinking about getting coils, he said he could do the install.
