Default Changing the SPRINGS...

Finally changing the springs on my 94Z.
It is the Eibach pro kit 1.5 drop.
Just wondering if someone has any TIPS for me, to make this as painless as possible.
Thanks for any help...

use a lot of penetrating fluid on the upper shock mounting bolts. I got frusterated and rounded mine off and ended up having to buy new shocks earlier than I planned.

Here you go ----> http://www.ls1howto.com/index.php?article=6

Once you remove the torx bolts from the drivers side, install them on the pass side when you hook everything back up.

Make a check list of everything you need, and make sure you have, or barrow it before you start!
And also give yourself plenty of time to do it right.

If you're too chicken to deal with a spring compressor, NAPA will do it for $20.00, including removing the shock nut.
