College Station Look Here! Okay short and sweet- I paid a guy to install my cam and springs he switched the springs, I called him on it a couple days later. I got my money back but meanwhile I have ls6 springs with a max lift of .550 in my car with a cam of .578. If anyone has read my posts on ls2 you are familiar with my situation. I am in college station now and need help getting these springs in as I have never done it before and could use some advice. I can follow the write up but it never hurts to have someone who knows the in's and outs. So if anyone could help it would be greatly appreciated as I have to drive up to dallas next weekend. Thanks
BTW im obviously new here I just moved to college station yesterday. If anyone has some comp 918 springs localy they can sell let me know as I am about to order some and it would cut down on the "down time" of my car. Thanks again ~Shawn 214-738-4002

Damn I wish I would have seen these sooner. Like I said I'm new, where is the sonic? I drove by the one at the corner of Texas and University but no one was up there. Ill call tomorrow and see whats up. It sucks though because I have to be in dallas on fri and the closest place with 918's is TSP and itll be thur before I can get them. Getting screwed sucks, thanks for everyones help I look forward to meeting yall soon.
u can hit me up also i have a valve spring tool i made u could use and also the hose that screws into the spark plug hole and hooks up to an air hose to hold the valvs up. just post up on here. hell if we were in houston i could probably set you up with a set of temporary springs till you get yours. i have only changed the ones in my truck 3 times.

OKay this is what I have so far, as long as TSP opens on monday I can have the springs overnighted or 2 day delivery and put them in on wednesday or thursday. I spoke with ls1powerhouse and he is going to help me out, anyone else is more than welcome 
I havent figured out where we are doing this yet, wether it be in someones driveway or the dorm parking lot. Ive gotten to be a pro at taking off valve covers. The adapter for the spark plug hole would be great if I had an air compressor. Damn I miss my garage 
Anyway hopefully this will work and I can make it to the base on friday. Thanks guys for your help.

Jon how about wednesday night? I just spoke with Brent he said thats cool, he'll be off work about 8 or 9. I'd rather do it Wednesday and have an extra day incase something goes wrong (god willing it wont).
