Spring Installation Instructions?

[MadBill]

OK: I've wandered through "wheels" and "suspension" plus several other categories and struggled futilely with the "Search" feature, which did nothing for me! I need the "Who", "Where" and "When" of the wonderfully detailed suspension spring installation procedure someone posted within the last month or so, while my printer was offline. I promise I'll pay attention this time!

Thanks NS, but no, the post I was looking for was a detailed verbal description (plus pictures I think) particularly of all the interior bits that have to come out to access the rear strut upper mounts. Oh, well, I expect I can muddle through! (hopefully today.)

Update:Well, I blundered through the drop job today without instructions! Fronts were easy, as posted. The only problem I had was with the rear, as I spent a lot of time struggling to extract a number of fiendishly interlocking trim panels in order to access the top strut bolts, only to find that all I really had to remove was the tire well lid and the long black compartment that runs behind the rear seat. Oh, yes, I also had to hunt down a couple of Allen wrenches, to hold the shock absorber shafts while I unscrewed the top nuts and to hold the sway bar mounting studs while I undid their nuts. The other minor glitch was that once I had cut down the rear jounce rubbers by 0.8" as per the Tein instructions (1.2" for the fronts), they were no longer a press fit in the top mount, so they and the attached protective sleeves dropped down, exposing the bare shock shaft. My fix was a healthy squirt of "Gorilla Snot" (weatherstrip adhesive) on the upper jounce rubber surface to bond it to the top washer. Hope it stays put!The stance looks great, but I didn't have time for a road test. Ride, handling and "Rub Report" (plus pix) to follow...
