Default Installing a few things soon

Well its FINALLY warm in chiago and over my spring break I plan on adding my suspension parts to my car and put my rims back on from winter storage. I wanted to ask about how long and any tips you guys might have on the following install's (I'm gonna have about 3 free days to do this all at once). The following item's I'm gonna install are below:

-SLP STB (Installed)
-BMR Relo brackets, bolt-in (Can use some tips on these)
-BMR adj panhard (single adjust in the middle)
-Eibach Sportline Springs

I have visited a few install sites like jmx's (really good site). But like I said, any other tips and info would help. I'm hoping it won't be hard to install all these, doesn't look like it would be except for the relo brackets...

I don't know if you've checked this site out but it my help www.installuniversity.com . The STB should only take you minutes to install, the other mods will take more time. If you have the use of four post drive on type hoist it will be a lot easier, everything can be done without it but it sure is nice. For the front springs I would suggest once you've have removed the assembly to take them to a spring shop, we did my friends using some spring compressors and it was a PITA, my guess is it would only cost you $25 to have them swapped out. Good luck

panhard and rear springs easy about 1 hour front springs not hard if you take them to a shop that has a spring compressor pay the 25.00 bucks other wise you will have to rent a cheap thing and that is a big pain in the ***. dont know much about the relocaters but that shouldnt take more than an hour. good luck. <img border="0" alt="[driving]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_driving3.gif" />
