Need help installing springs... I could use a hand installing BMR springs on my car. If anyone can lend a hand, I'd appreciate it.
Pick your beer, and I'll be sure I've got some cold ones with your name on it.
In the San Antonio area near SeaWorld. If you've got a flat parking lot or an open garage, I'll gladly come to you.
Was planning on doing it today, but got discouraged. Might try tomorrow morning, if anyone is free. Let me know.

if I was closer I would help... The fronts can be a little tough, but no too bad. Rear springs are easy! Are you not changing shocks as well? Do you have the stockers? They really aren't valved for lowering springs. You aren't going to hurt anything per say, but the ride will suck.

Actually I did the shocks about a year ago. Bilsteins... I'm still kicking myself for not doing the springs at the same time. My friend and I took a whole weekend off to do it, because of that stupid nut at the top of the perch was rusted/fused to the assembly. Hunting down a replacement part was a PITA!
I know the rears are easy, but I'm just not looking forward to doing the fronts, especially by myself.

Ah good to go on shocks, are they the HD's? Yeah I have been there before, changed springs and left the shitty stocks shocks on. Had to order bilstein HDs and do it all over again a few weeks later... Now I orders springs and shocks (this is my 4th F-body)

Looks like this might get pushed back yet another week. So if anyone is free next weekend, let me know!

Not hard to do, just time consuming. Good thing you replaced the shocks, just hope the dam nuts come off clean. What sucks is getting one side done to find the other shock has a rusted nut.

If you lived near Katy, I would tell you to come to my house.
Good luck.
The whole job is easy.
When I changed mine out I painted my strut mount with thick rubber spray (3 coats of rubber truck bed liner) and used electric grease on the metal contact areas to reduce the rust issue.
