help with front spring swap
 

Hey guys,

Would anyone be able to help me do a front spring swap on my firebird? I don't really have the proper tools and would really appreciate the help. I got cash and beer :) Thanks guys

You could borrow the spring compressor from Autozone for free.

yea that's what I did for the rears. however the fronts are much harder and I don't have the experience with them. I also don't have a torque gun which is almost essential for getting those fronts out.

You had to use a spring compressor for the rears? They should come right out by hand if you have the car on jack stands and let the rear droop all the way down.

i only had one jack so i had to put it under the pumpkin, therefore i need the compressors to get the new ones back in

but i would really appreciate it if someone would give me a hand with these suckers. as stated, i would pay and provide some brewski's (your choice )...does anyone also know where i would be able to get an alignment done thats close to here. most shops wont touch lowered cars.

send hardcorez28, Paul, at RPM as message, he is a sponsor here, and in hillsborough maybe you can work something out with him.

Or, i have the tools to do it, though i have never done the job on a 4th gen, just my car, 3rd gen. Im in Ringoes, not far form hillsborough, Im sure we could figure it out.

and there is a shop right across the street from my house that does alignments. They did my car, did a great job and they are a good bunch of guys/gals.

I can help you out. I've done this on a friends car once, and am going to be doing it on mine either this week or next.

xrelapse...where are you located?

east Brunswick..
Dont no why it doesn't show up.

Its a semi easy job, I did it a couple of months ago on my Formula, I would be happy to help but you are really far.

(I am pretty sure I used my breaker bar to get the right tension rather than my impact but I could be wrong.)

forgot to add this, but rob ended up helping me out. job took longer than expected lol. Thanks for your help again rob!
