Spring install

whiteliquid · 08-15-2006, 12:19 AM

How long has it takin everyone to install their springs from start to finish.
As far as a shop goes, or just an individual.

My friend has an alero and im thinkin about helpin him install some springs, I had mine done at a shop, and had no idea how long it took cuz i dropped my car off.

But i found the how-to on here and think i can do it right, and cheaper than the shop (free is always cheaper lol) but i only have two free hours the only day i have off to do it.

i was noob with cars when me and my friend did mine. took us about 2 hours.

i wouldnt attempt it if you dont have air tools.

if you have air tools and you dont know what your doing its gonna take you a minimum of 2 hours most likely. fronts are easy but rears can be a pain.

if you know what your doing........ you can change out all 4 springs in 30 minutes like me and soundxtreme did once

yeah, i would wait untill u have more time, just in case something happens, and u might need to get parts or something.

Ok I'll prolly see what he wants to do...I would like to do it for the experience of learning how. I dont think it will be hard from reading the how-to.But he is really anxious to get them on.

thanks guys.

I keep hearing this 30 minute bullcrap, bring me over full set of QA pro-drag coilovers and prove it.
