spring install time
I was just wondering how long on average its been taking to install lowering springs. Using basic hand tools in my drive way, it took me a little under 4.5 hrs.
The install was stupid easy and very straight forward. On all my FWD vehicles its taken me 4.5 hrs just to do the front.

Swapping the springs is easy and fast. Corner balancing and aligning the car afterwards is the pain and slow.

I'll be doing my spring install according to the how-to in this forum - and I really wish I had air tools
Did it take you 4.5 hrs with zero air tools?

People doing 2-3 hours... air tools or no?
