I can't understand how you have the money to do all that stuff to the car, but when the car NEEDS something, you put it off. Alternator is cheaper than the stuff you are doing and WAY cheaper than a tow truck.

even with a spring compressor and a friend who just changed his springs? (he has a civic and just changed his for the first time 2 weeks ago). stock struts are being reused btw if that makes any difference. I have no idea about this stuff |

if your friend did it and he feels confident to do it again then that's a good idea

if the new springs are lowing, plan a revisit soon. struts wont hold up for crap.
