Installing springs w/o a compressor???

[brandon]

I've said it before, I'll say it again...

Breaker bars are your best friend.

nice seeing the breaker bar bend when u loosen up them 24mm bolts though

HAHAHA

Are there any bigger bolts in the whole of the car than the four 24mm?

Yes, the end axle bolts are 32mm(at least on the 7g)

Heres all you need to change your springs:

[LIST]Breaker bar
-Spring compressor
-Descent set of metric deep well sockets
-PB Blaster
-Crescent wrench/open ended wrenches to take off the top bolt
-Vice grips. I used them taking off the end link and the top strut bolt(to hold the strut rod while i used a crescent to undo the bolt)[LIST]

Thanks for everyone's help, the springs are going on later this week, hopefully with no troubles. I know I need to get an alignment after the springs get put on, and I've read somewhere you should drive for 2 weeks or so before the alignment to let the springs settle. Is this true??

I dont know about an alightnement. Mine was find except the rear had a little bit of bad camber. And yes it will take a week or two for your springs to totally settle.
