I don't have the tools anymore to swap out my rear springs, and I only need this done once. If anyone in the irvine/socal region could do this for me, that would be great. name your price in a pm, thanks!

Have you done this before? Z rear springs are probably the easiest thing I've ever changed on a car. I would think you could borrow a few tools and do this yourself. Save the cash.

I have a buddy that usually does it for me for 20 bucks, but he might not be able to do it, which is why I am asking on here just in case. I know this is an easy install, ive done it before when I had tools. Btw, if your price is too high, I won't reply back, seems easier since ive gotten a few pm's. Thanks

i'm pretty sure I've seen someone pull them out by jacking the car up, unbolting the shock and having another person put weight on the suspension assembly.

I've got springs sitting in my garage that need an install too. Don't have a jack or stands sitting around which is why I haven't done it.

Lol, yeah who's this awesome person?

PM me with info of this guy who does suspension work. I can do it myself but don't have the tools down here to do it.

I don't do everything for free but I helped out Steve for free (there was a 6-pack that changed hands lol) cause it was quick and easy. Ray, if you wanna get your springs done, let me know.

Thanks Brent, I was going to ask but felt a little guilty cause I haven't been back to the monthly meets lately but also because I might have coilovers coming instead of just installing springs.

There's Blue Moon or Sam Adams in it for you lol.
