I just purchased Tein Spring on e-Bay http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayI ... ry=33582It will be very tough to keep those spring in my closet for the winter and wait the summer to install them

Congrats on the spring purchase. That would be tough to wait that long. More than likely, you probably won't.

Cool! Do you need any help with the install?

I was thinking about installing them myself but I don't know if my mechanical knoledge are big enough.I will appreciate your help but we are living some far away from each other. But if you have a solution for this, I'm open to your suggestion

I already printed out this link: http://www.deepstaged.net/toymattein.htmIt does not seems to be a very hard job, but I'll have to get a spring compressor.Any tips not shown in this instruction?

One Canuck-specific tip is that Canadien Pneus will loan you a spring compressor for free! (at least at two sites in Ontario that I tried)

I knew that; just a gentle poke at the "French predominant" regulations and a bit of a joke for our American cousins.

Canadien Pneu sounds very weard in my hears... but very funny.We have few other nick name for this store: Cacane Tire, QuÃ©taine Tire...

BTW, I'm wondering if I can install them myself or let it done by a real mecanic.The work does not look very complicated, but I feel a little bit unconfortable to do it myself. I know where to get the tolls and I have the full instruction.May be it is only a little lack of confidence.So, should I do it myself and safe few bucks or let it done by a "specialist"?

i would recommend an impact wrench! had my mechanic do it, but he let me help so i could learn for next time. was pretty easy, put the air tools made it go by extremely fast! we had them all installed in 2-3 hours. i paid him $120 for install.

Ok, it decided, I'll install them myself this week-end (as the Montreal meet is cancelled, I'll have time now).I'll borrow a compressor air wrench and impact gun from a relative and get a spring compressor at my local Canadian Tire (they lend you one 72 hours for free).I'll let you know how it was on monday.And thaks a lot Raser for your help!

Ben, another note. Make sure this knotch on top of the strut lines up with the bottom where it bolts on to the knuckle.

Thanks, I'll take a special attention to this. For sure, if they are not alligned, the strut won't fit in it original position.
