Anybody know any links for a spring install on a 99 GT? Also, anybody heard of Vogtland, I saw them in 5.0 magazine and decided to give those a try. ![[patriot]](graemlins/patriot.gif)

I agree with "GR40coupe", you DO NOT need a spring compressor..you dont even need to unbolt the struts from the spindle! ![[Big Grin]](biggrin.gif)

yes you need to remove it from the rotor but you do not need to undue the hose. loosen the bolts to the caliper and before removing then take a flat screw driver and press between the rotor and pad, this will expand the pads and allow easy re-asembley. Then remove the caliper from the rotor and take a piece of wire or zip tie and hang it from a bolt hole so not to put hang weight on the hose. Once you reinstall the caliper press on your brake peddle before driving other wise you will have no brakes the first 1 or 2 pushes.
