Sweet, i checked on the status of it last night and they are saying i wont get them till tuesday so i will probably work on it next week some time.

Hacksaw... Hum... Are you kidding?

All these how-to's i have been reading on here dont mention anything about hacksaws!

sammage · 09-05-2008, 10:30 AM

There are two kinds of people in the world: those who have used a hacksaw, and those who haven't used one yet.

tpendergraft85 · 09-05-2008, 10:51 AM

i have not used a hacksaw, even in the advice of others

Hmm, for the spring install, make sure you have sufficient tools. I recommend a rubber mallet, a torque wrench and a breaker bar. I did the Tien coilover install on my car, but installling full coilovers are easier than installing springs. I'd help you out if you need to though. However, I do not have the above mentioned tools so we'll need to get them or find someone who has it.

tpendergraft85 · 09-05-2008, 11:24 AM

i have a torque wrench and a breaker bar, no mallet though

Gigabelova · 09-05-2008, 01:30 PM

Oh yea, and we'll need the spring compressor too obviously. Autozone is not too far away from where I live.

I have a metal hammer... if we can't find a mallet, we'll use some of my leather gloves to cover the hammer to make it work.

sammage · 09-05-2008, 03:11 PM

Harbor Freight has rubber mallets for $2.

That'd be great alex I can use all the help i can get. Hong owe's me some help, so i'll try to get him in on it. I'll give you a call.

Springs are easy, you should have them done in two hours tops for all four, especially if you get somebody that knows what they are doing to help you. If it's next weekend I might be able to lend a hand also. Air tools are helpful, I have a compressor and impact tools which helped so no problem with crazy torqued bolts. Are you doing struts also? Your stock struts will be toast in no problem by the way.

wichitalegacy · 09-06-2008, 02:39 AM

hey ********... I have spring compressor that you can use for free!!!!!

tpendergraft85 · 09-06-2008, 03:44 AM

what did you call him?

Those STi pinks are made for SPT so they have the subaru warranty covering them. Which means my bumper to bumper covers it all. If my struts go to **** they will get replaced. Even though SPT specifically made these for the stock struts.

They do not cover incorrect installs like that though. We've just got to make sure we do it right.

Thats true, i am going to get an alignment very quickly afterwards though just in case.

subedriver · 09-08-2008, 09:59 PM

You have all the tools and jack stands and everything?

wichitalegacy · 09-09-2008, 04:53 AM

I've got everything needed brothas

papafrito · 09-09-2008, 10:18 AM

Well i got a friend that lives down the street that has everything (in derby). I should be getting them in today. I would like to pop em in tonight but i'll wait if someone wants to come give a hand.

subedriver · 09-09-2008, 10:25 AM

what time were you thinkn? might be able to help tonight, depends on what time the wife gets off work so she can take care of our son.

papafrito · 09-09-2008, 11:05 AM

Well i get off work at 5 so probably 6 or 7ish. I can get off at 4 too, to start a little bit earlier.

subedriver · 09-09-2008, 12:35 PM

Well I just talked to my wife and she's on call tonight so I can't help out. If she gets called out she has to leave right away and wouldn't have anybody to watch the kid so looks like I'm staying at home.
