If you're up for a small drive, and aren't in a hurry, @SomeGuy usually hosts a few install days through the summer. Has a very well equipped garage full of all the tools you'll need, and provides a lot of guidance as well. As long as you don't mind getting your hands a little dirty!Quote:

Not as many this summer probably...but will be a couple I'm sure.
You pregnant?Quote:

Depending on the day could possibly do it at my house? I have a hoist and everything just no spring compressorsQuote:

Id be down to help out! Lower all things!
anyone know how to properly set up coilovers? put mine in this weekend and its bouncy as **** in the rear, ive tried changing the dampening a little bit. anything else i could try?
@DLYDRVN how did you get your coils to not be so bouncy? Lol. I think we have the same set. Isc n1
Just make the springs shorter right? Did a coil install on my buddy's EF and we had to,figure it all,out
Yea... Preload is key. If you ****ed up your preload adjustments you'll be bouncy.
That said, the ISC's are pretty stiff even on soft.. so you're gonna ride every wave in the road.
I havnt touched the pre loads yet. Ill play around with them tomorrow. Raise em up .5"
ISC has a spec printed on the spring about the unloaded spring length... you're supposed to preload like 5mm shorter than that i think... Double check. You may actually need to reduce your preload if you're bouncy. Too much preload takes the shock out of its optimum travel and it can't damp the spring movement.
Well the rears are all the way down and theres about 2" maybe 3" of threads up front. It came that way.

It's real handy to have especially for winter to summer tire swaps and oil changesQuote:

Hey guys,
I'm fairly new to the tri-city area, live in Waterloo. Could you guys recommend a nice shop/mechanic in the area where i can get a transmission fluid done? Also have the infamous gurgling noise between 1500-2000 rpm, so preferably someone's who can look into that. Looking for a good/cheap go-to mechanic as i want to lower the car and do some more mod's eventually. Thanks!
