Anybody in the North Austin area (pflugerville) know how to install springs and shocks? I've got the Mazdaspeed springs/ shocks on order, they should be here within a week.
I don't trust the dealership installing them and I'd like to do it myself with some help. I've got plenty of tools and a garage. I may be able to borrow some spring compressors.
I can provide a 12pk and alittle cash to whomever helps.

i know a great shop in your area that has worked on plenty of 8's.

Are you talking about MZM?
I prefer to do it myself with some experienced help. I should have it done by this weekend. Thanks though,

All done. Took about 3 1/2 to 4 hrs. Ride is alittle stiffer, but it's not like you can feel every little bump. Gap is 2fingers all around.
With the proper tools, the install isn't that bad.
Thanks Leegina for helping (doing all the work).

Glad you like it. Not that bad of an install with 2 people and doing it right and taking your time. I enjoyed meeting you and your Girlfriend, Good luck in Vegas. No high stakes Poker Games!

Since they were used, I don't know if they still need time to settle. Here's how it looks now.

Here's a bigger picture.
The drop is supposed to be 20mm (0.8 inches). I didn't want to go lower since I have a bodykit.

Looks good!! They should settle a little more but not much.

You missed a great run yesterday.

adrian-1

Yeah, I wish I could've made it.
I've been busy with work/ planning vacation. I doubt I'll make the monthly meeting. Hopefully I'll have some free time on the next run.
