you ca n do it yourself easily

[My Cobra]

[232stang]

the only good excuse would be that you dont own a few sockets screw drivers or a ratchet

[jbarr668]

They look awesome...but definitely drop it.

[My Cobra]

i own all of that what about a dpring compactor and a lift? i need that stuff too?

[232stang]

you dont need a lift you can do it witha jack and some jackstands

[My Cobra]

I concour and oh btw... I HATE YOU... lol...
:j:

[232stang]

you dont really need spring compressors on a mustang, but it makes the job a bit faster imo. you could do it with the help of a friend in like 4 hours if your not expirienced

[My Cobra]

ha ha ha ha thanks you guys.

[232stang]

ha ha ha ha thanks you guys.
your welcome, and i take it ur not gonna install the springs yourself

[NoSlo5.0]

How you ever gonna learn anything new? Springs were probably the third thing I'd ever installed after a catback and headers. Just tell us when you're gonna do it and we'll all hang online for immediate tech support if necessary. You want a writeup on exactly how to do it?

[232stang]

if you give me a day that you will be doing it i will hang out online to help u
hell we could start an aim chat to help

[My Cobra]

I do not mind doing it. The problem for me is if i screw up somethign liek springs then i am really screwed i have to tow my shit. If i were to screw up headers or a cat back i can still drive it lol thanks for all the help. How long you guys thinking it would take me to do this? I like learnign stuff. I put on my intake, my exhuast my pro 50 shifter. things like that. how does it compair to those things?

[My Cobra]

any web sites where i can get a write up of what to do. Maybe some pics of some install? will the IRS make it a pain for me?

[Stang Gurl]

Cobra, your paint gives me uber wood... everyone else, you guys are the koolest ever, trying to be so helpful. There is hope in this crazy world lol... go ahead and do a write up on how to install them if you get time. Im getting springs soon and I would love to be the "chick who dropped her own car" WOOT! I LOOOVE gettin' dirty.

do u have tools

[232stang]

u will need a
jack
jack stands
various sockets
wrenches
crow foot wrench
Flat head screw driver
spring compressor (optional)
an extra set of hands

[232stang]

quick write up for the rear
NOTE: THIS IS NOT FOR MUSTANGS WITH IRS



Jack up the rear of the car
next put jacstands in the rear part of the unibody and remove the jack
take off both rear wheels
next jack up the axel on the side which you will be replacing the spring
unbolt the shock bolt and nut that connects the axel housing to the shock
lower the jack slowly
with your foot push down on the arm and tug on the spring it should come out with minimal difficulty
transfer the upper isolator to the new spring
place the spring back on the control arm making sure the lower pig tail is facing the driver side
jack up the axel once more
replace the shock bolt and nut (tq spec= goodentight)
put the wheel back on and your done with the rear.

this link looks pretty good. i would need to rent a spring compressor and probley get a few nice jack stands. preobley end up saving money in the long run and end up with some new tools :) Might be a good idea to do a write up anyway if somebody has some spare time we could make it a stickey and it woudl help out other people in this same area and wanting to know how.

[Stang Gurl]

My dad owns a body shop and has tens of thousands of $$$ in snap on... do I have tools? :rofl: sorry lol, yeah I have tools.

oh so you are set, hey jack some tools from him and send them my way lol j/k

[232stang]

btw are you able to understand the write up

[My Cobra]

LOL forget that just roll over one of those snap on tool benches over my way.

[Stang Gurl]

oh so you are set, hey jack some tools from him and send them my way lol j/k
yeah my dad's got the hook up... he wont use a tool unless its snap on... the truck goes by his shop once a week lol... and one day it will be all mine! mauhahah...

[232stang]

you will be able to do the springs easily then

[My Cobra]

what i do not understand is if your dad has that many tools why would you not do it your self. he obviously knows whats up with cars if he has that many tools.

[232stang]

have your dad help you, it helps to have an extra set of hands

[StangGT5.0]

look good! :thumpupn:
