I re-installed my stock rear springs Sunday to toss on my slicks and hit the track Wednesday. You have to drop the sway bar bolts as well. When I removed them I unbolted the shocks and was able to push hard enough and slide them off, to get them back in is another story but only and hour or so of time.<br /><br />Let me know this weekend when works for you. Meet me off 101 at the shop in Rohnert Park and I'll do the rear with ya. Fronts I can't do. <br /> </font> </td></tr> </table></td></tr></table> <br /> <br />
