updated spring install?

Does anyone have a spring install DIY that includes working pictures or visual instructions? It seems kinda complicated without visuals and unfortunately, I learn better with visuals.

I did it myself without a spring compressor in under 2 hours for front and rear. Shouldn't be too hard. Good luck.

My apologies for resurrecting an old thread but I wanted to give props to iLikeEatPoo for sharing the links above. A friend and I installed springs on another friend's 2010 RX8 and the instructions and photos were spot on. It was my first spring install but we finished in about 4 hours.

Racing Beat's spring / shock installation instructions aren't too bad, either. I'll actually be referencing both RB's and Robin's for when I install my Koni shocks and RB springs.

Mr. Yang's site has been down since at least yesterday as far as I know. I was able to get by with the Racing Beat instructions. Disconnecting one end of the endlinks would likely make the install easier.
