mikewstang · 02-18-2007, 12:44 AM

installing springs kinda intimidates me because of some of the things ive heard. I havent done a whole lot of work on cars but i have installed O/R H pipes and ive done a break job.
Can anyone give me any tips on problems you ran into or links to good right ups. any help is greatly appreciated

Just take it easy and don't rush. If you do, things can go bad. Just keep in mind that the stock springs are under pressure so don't poke them or nudge them until the pressure is let off.

If you haven't started your project yet go to MUSTANGWORLD.COM they have a great "HOW TO" on the installation of lowering springs. One thing I had a problem with was that I didn't lift the car high enough on the jack stands. Couldn't get the control arms all the way down. Had to wrestle the springs out. Be sure you read all the install info you can before you start as this is a job that requires some know how and a lot of tools. I tyed my springs in just for the added security, I been doing this work for 30 plus years now but have learned to always be as safety minded as possible.
