I just picked up my drop springs and figure I ask about instilling them. First question is are there any special tools needed(spring compressor)? the back springs, if I take out the bolt holding in the back shock does the entire arm drop and the spring come out? I would have a jack stand under the car and a jack under the arm and lower it slowly. For the front, is all that is holding the top part is that one 17mm bolt? Just drop that one bolt and take out the 2 that are bolted to the arm? Ill be doing this at my dads friends house, he knows what he's doing just figure I ask for pointers to save some time. Maybe this could be a sticky?
