Default Mid-a... anyone wanna help a noob with spring install today? puhleasee?

Yeah thats right. I started last night and now i feel like ****, and i barely have any strength... Im installing s.techs on my car and cant get it done lol.

The rears are done, all i need help with is the fronts. The driver side is off the car, the spring just needs to be compressed and installed. I havent touched the passenger side yet.

In all honestly, i have no idea what im doing, and one of the compressors snapped off on my hand this morning so im not sure if my dumb as$ should be attempting this again lol.

So anyone wanna help?
Im right by the Severna Park high school.

My car is on jack stands in my street lol. So i would love some help. Ill give you a beer or some money if youre willing to come out and help haha.

I know i cant do probably the simplest install...

If you are willing to help, send me an email. I wont be on this site but i will get the email on my phone.
sinanbolel@comcast.net

Thanks

How do i alight it with the k and front corner bolt?
I got the whole strut tower assembly on the strut, but the bottom of the strut isnt alight with anything, and i cant spin it to align it.

Its frustrating. lol

So did you get the front springs on? if you are trying to rotate the bottom fork of the shock you may want to loosen up the nut on top some rotate and re tighten. does that make sense?
