Default Dfw people come in

Just ordered sportlines and would like some help from my fellow members to put them on. I will supply beer and some food for the help. I figure it's a good excuse to meet some of you guys and shoot the ****. Let me know if you guys are interested.

if you're putting true duals on a your car after you put the sportline on you're gonna have extreme clearance issues

Yeah I've been thinking about that alot lately but the guy thats doing my duals is really good at what he does and I think we can make it work. If not I can always take them off and sell them and get a pro-kit or other springs.

Yeah I was going to get the prokit but the guy at discount direct said the sportlines were only 1.6 up front and 1.4 in the rear I found out later it's more like 2.0 but it's cool I will make it work roads around here aren't bad and I don't have any speedbumps in the apartment complex or anywhere I go on a regular basis. So are any of you guys in to help or come watch or atleast drink free beer? I would like some company while i'm attempting something I have never done.

I can knock them out for you in about an hour...Im in arlington, PM with a price. I have a wall mount strut compressor, not the J-hooks that are very dangerous to use.

I will warn you that if your car has seen any kind of inclement weather, the nuts on the front struts may need to be cut off. Its really a crap shoot but ive had about a 50/50 chance of getting them off succesfully with my wall mounted strut compressor. Even if I spray them with PB nut blaster and hit it with a wire brush.

Well the problem is I can't afford to pay someone to do it right now. I just ordered duals and the springs I ordered on my discount card so I really have to do them myself.
