Ok I got a set of ksport lowering springs for my birthday and was wondering if anyone has any tips or link to a how to? I know there is prolly one here but I'm using my phone and can't search well right now. Thanks in advance!

 

best advice do the front then the backs. And make sure you have a spring compressor to compress the springs obviously

 

its not hard, its just a bitch to get the front struts out.

 

I didnt have one hahah. when do you use it?

 

When doing the rears just remember to jack up both sides and unbolt both shocks so the axle can hang down.

 

Thanks for all the quick replies. The fronts are what I guess I'm the most "afraid" of. I think someone did an install with kinda step by step pics does anyone know of this? I just love pics to give me the visuals before hand.

 

jus give em to me!! lol or you can use this

heres another one for the front strut.. i hear its a toughie.. https://www.cobaltss.net/forums/how-...ing-r-r-23418/

the rears look like you jus jack up the ass end an take em off, swap the top hats onto the new ones an put em back

 

Thanks mastashake! That was exactly what I saw before. I can't wait to get these installed, the ride height is the only thing I don't like about my car. Other than that loving it 8,000 miles later

 

i did mine saturday, do the back first just to get it out of the way cause its the easlies one....the front is a bitch and frustrating....so u can go to ur local part store and rent the spring compressors for $55 at auto zone....good luck and have fun

 

an take pics!!

 

Makesure you have an impact wrench. People say it's not needed, but without it I wouldn't have been able to remove my sway bar end links or the top strut nuts.

 

As far as tools go, there's not much we don't have. I think we have to rent the spring compressors though, cause I don't think we have any.

 

hell, i bought my spring compressors for $25 lol

 

I didnt use a spring compressor.... and it was really easy.

 

Vise grips or whatever size wrench can hold the back of the end link bolt so you can unbolt it. Mine spun with a impact. And don't over torque the top strut nut.

 

It can only go down so far AFAIK, it bottoms out.
