have you checked the DIY? it's a really straightforward install, no different from any other spring install.
Even if it's your first time, it's not very difficult. The DIY is VERY extensive and easy to follow.

ShinkaTeen
11-27-2008, 01:14 AM
yeah i saw it, looked at it.


thought "if i do this alone bad things could happened".

but ill probably end up doing it on my own, i just wanted to see if anyone wanted to help a 1st timer.

you don't need an air compressor I did it with hand tools, be a man! its like a 2 hour job at the most with hand tools.. lots of funnn!!!!! I'm doing my RB end links AFE Shifter and midpipe this weekend. well I might do the shifter tonight I hear great things.

Good luck kido's.

dozer
12-10-2008, 05:52 PM
my dad has a shit load of tools, we got like 5 different impacts....^i did my midpipe 2 weeks ago, remember to remove the NUTS not the BOLT, i was stuck on that for quite a while

Jedi54
12-10-2008, 06:06 PM
air compressor isn't necessary but I'm all about working smart, not working hard. You'll love the short shifter, great mod! :)

dozer
12-10-2008, 06:08 PM
work smarter not harder, my dad always told me that growing up...if you got the tools use em makes the job that much easier

Jedi54
12-10-2008, 06:12 PM
I can't say enough about how having the proper tools makes the job SO much easier.

^I'M TELLING!!! :lol:

seriously though - you can do it without the compressor (like when i did the spring swap on my car) but as i recall the only fun part about that...was accidently letting the nut on top of the strut shoot off and almost tear through my friends'(Renesis SE3P, John) jacket :lol:

This thread is entertaining. Let's keep it that way, and no one die changing the springs please.
BTW - The DIY needs updating. All the pictures were linked to another site, and they are gone. Maybe you guys can take pics of the process to help out the DIY.
http://www.rx8club.com/showthread.php?t=23403

I changed one rear strut by myself w/ the DIY, and it took about 20mins.
So I don't think it shouldn't take hours. Especially w/ extra help.
You may want to try getting 2 sets of compressors if you plan to have several people helping.

I have one suggestion;
There are different types of spring compressors.
The safer they are, the better chance of not dying.

Here is an example of cheaper/less safe compressors
Notice one end has a safety pin, but the other end does not.
The safety pin is so the compressor doesn't accidentally slip off and send a spring into your brain.
http://www.comparestoreprices.co.uk/images/sy/sykes-pickavant-coil-spring-compressor-screw.jpg

This is a better option. I bought a set of these at Autozone, so hopefully, they are the same ones you get to rent.
Notice the safety pins on both ends.
http://www.noahlh.com/car/coilover_howto/img/21.jpg

Make sure you pre-load the driver's side only, that way he can have a NASCAR prepared RX8.

dozer
12-11-2008, 04:36 PM
yeah we use the ones in the second pic...

Jedi54
12-11-2008, 04:37 PM
^^^^ those are the kind Tim and i used when we did our suspension install.

+1 for being safe: if one of those springs comes loose while you're compressing it, it could kill you. Dead. As in....forever.

limes = green. Squeeze them just a tad. IF they're hard as a rock, don't buy them.
Slicing them is quite easy, juts hand a knife to the Mexican guy. If he can't slice limes to fit in a beer bottle, then it means they're not really Mexican and should be deported to canada.
