View Full Version : Realistic time to change springs?

So my major issue right now is I rent out my basement and the city has given me three weeks to paint the trim on my house, fix concrete work, and replace all my screen doors. Don't get me started on how ridiculous these things are! I have to repaint the whole house for a little bit of flaking, screen doors because of a single rip on just one door, and concrete on a house that is constantly shifting a inch a year.

So anyway I have had these Eibachs sitting here for almost a month and won't get to them for another month unless this is a quick swap out or I pay Midas or someone. So realisticly from you guys that have done this how long will it take me to switch out the springs and use the spacers. If it is more than three to fours hours I may just have to pay someone as I don't want to wait until mid-July. Any ideas what I should pay if I have to go that route?

Thanks!

What kind of screen doors? There are screen replacement kits for screen doors and windows: the screen, some thin rubber tubing to secure the screen to the frame, and the roller tool. You may not have to replace the doors. Scrape and get some matching paint to touch up the areas that need it. Don't worry about the car until the necessary house issues are fixed. You'll just stress yourself out.

Mine already had the H&R lowering springs on it when I bought it in Novemeber, I got the originals too. I can call the guy and ask him, he's know the answer to those questions I would imagine. It is to late now to call him though.

Thanks. It might be raining here this weekend which would end my plan to paint or do concrete work. I have the instructions on replacing the rears and it doesn't look like it should take more than two hours. Anyone know if the fronts are similar? It should be easier since I don't have to mod the shocks at all.
