Lower Spring DIY

Post by WagonMafia »

I'm installing a set Tein S-Techs this weekend but I need some instruction on how to do it, but the link for the DIY won't seem to open. Can someone please help me. Thanks

You know if your up for it you could make the trip down here also. I have plenty enough room and a garage full of tools, and I live a couple of minutes from an alinment shop, and pep-boys if want to do that. Just let me know.

I know but it's nice to have a second set of hands. Plus I have other things to go on like these damn HID's. I hate anything Electrical.
