[damnit458]

Im a moron

Why do you need one? I do have one if you want to borrow it though.

Actually, thats a good point. I never even thought about the fact that im not putting either back on. You'll have to excuse me, I spent all my mental capacity posting this morning. Im kind of burnt out.

<--confused

do you already have coils or something?

Putting on the yellows/GC's

Im putting new coilovers and shocks, I should nt actually have to take the springs off the stock shocks. hes right.

Edit: Thats my understanding anyway. Correct me if im wrong RJ

makes sense, forgot they're an assembly

(remembering dave's Supra suspension back in the day in williamsburg and also scotty's adventure with the accord, lol)

i valiant attempt to be a smart ass has failed miserably...

Are you reusing the stock upper shock mounts?

Are you reusing the stock upper shock mounts?

Yeah I had planned on it since they are the correct size

looks like you'll need those compressors after all

stock springs/struts right?

Unfortunately so. I have a question. What about the brakeline bracket? Wouldnt that also be needed, so regardless the compressors would be needed?

If not, what would the alternative be to not resuing my upper shock mounts? Buying new ones?

well i know RJ has the GC upper strut mounts, they allow for more travel which is good for lowered cars. Plus you can have separate assemblies you can just swap in and out.

Well, you dont need a spring compressor to remove the springs really, but usually I do. The alternative is getting other ones, or the ground-control mounts. I'd just reuse them.

For the brake line bracket, pound off the old one. I put a write up in the Tech forum for the koni shock install.

Interesting. I will look into this =D. I passed out before I could check everything out last night. Wisdom teeth missing are still getting to me, sorry about not actually researching before asking heh.

I meant, wouldnt you have to take the spring off to be able to get to the brake line bracket?

Edit: Ive read your writeup a few times. Thats where im getting the idea that you need to have access to the shock itself to reach the brakeline bracket, making it necessary to take off the spring.

no....

when are you doing this? bring it on over to my place, buy the pizza and we'll knock it out in an hour.

Interesting...I might take you up on that.

Nvm: I see your point. I was just looking at it wrong. Im sure it will help a lot when I actually have the fucking thing out. Anyway, I still might take you up on getting your help. I have a friend who I was going to get, but I believe he's going to be at tech now.

[Maengelito]

keith, you lookin to buy some konis by any chance?

[damnit458]

keith, you lookin to buy some konis by any chance?

Already sitting in my room. Sorry =-)

Edit: Although, if you happen to have LCA's, or a ITR rear sway bar sitting arround I would be interested =D

[.RJ]

I have a stock RS rear sway bar I'd make you a deal on..

[ScottyB]

don't forget to properly dispose of the stock components
