![]() I have the following to install on my car:
1) Strut Tower Brace. 2) 4 point Lower Chassis Support. 3) Eibach Pro-Kit Springs 4) Caster/Camber set I am wanting to do this all at once (well, over a few day period ![]() I have the shop manual for my year car (2002 GT Convertible) and of course they discuss using lifts and tranny jacks to lower the suspension. I know this can be done at home (I will get the car re-aligned at the Goodyear store clse to me so I am not worried about that). Is there anyone that has done this to a like year/make of car and if so what tips could you provide. Thanks - I appreciate your time. ![]()

I certainly appreciate your time and information - Thank you Any other tips are more than welcomed - I will be doing this in the next few weeks so more brain food the better ![]() Once again - Thanks

![]() Make sure you set alot of time aside to do it. Took us about 8 hrs to do it. Also becareful because a compressed spring is dangrous and make sure to have big pry bars they help.
Good luck man

![]() My 94 just got Prokit and KYBs all around. INstall was easy, don't take all bolts off that manual indicates. Especially on rears, they should just fall out, fronts had a little more pressure but nothing a prybar and elbow grease for removal and installation can't solve.
It's good you bought the caster camber plates I found out late that I should have installed on my vehicle, well something else to do this weekend. An impact wrench really makes the job go fast, I bought an electric one, I don't have cash for an aircompressor. You may also find deficiencies in your tools, I cracked the non-impact 21mm socket for strut to spindal bolts, had to go to store and buy impact one. Other than that good luck. John

![]() Thanks guys
I agree, having the right tools certainly helps - I just bought a torque wrench that can handle 250lbs (SnapOn) and I already have an air compressor with impact tools and sockets. So now I need the time ![]() All this info is helping ease the concerns - nothings worse than to break out tools on a brand new car and mess something up ![]() Well, I hope to get some of the work done this week and then the springs next weekend - I will post more when I have done something. Thanks again.
