You in San Diego?

 

naw... bakersfield... but id be willing to make a drive on a weekend or something to get it done

 

It's really pretty simple. Follow a DIY and you should be fine. Just rent spring compressors from auto zone first

 

noo u dont understand... i literally cant work on the car... my apartment complex will not let me, and the shop teacher at school wont let me because its an engine overhauling class not a suspension class

 

Lol that's a 4hour drive from me, I'm sure you can find someone closer that actually has a garage. I was going to help you do it in my street! haha.

If you find someone who has done it before you should be able to knock them out in ~5hrs.

 

well preferably id like to find someone in LA... i posted in the west thread too... but it seems like most of the suspension/ b5 guru guys are on the east coast lol

 

5 hours is a lot pyro. The spring compressors take the most time if you don't have air tools. The ghey part is I had to special order a size 18mm spark plug socket from matco to get the strut out of the tower. You need to get a wrench and a 6mm allen if I remember right at the same time. I tried a deep offset box end but it couldn't get in there, and a socket won't work cuz the ratchet is in the way. So annoying. I'm not sure its the same on fwd but probably.

 

well i know there is a diy on audidiy... but if i cant find a helper then it realy wont matter much haha

 

Do you post on Audizine? Theres a lot more people on there and the SoCal seection is pretty damn active. Someone out there will be willing to help.
