i was wondering if it was possible to change the rear springs in my coupe by jus using two floor jacks to lift up the rear of the car in the driveway? or do i need to use someones hoist? my car is in desprate need of the springs and i wanna put my wagon springs in ASAP! the car looks pretty stupid with the PI springs in the front and the ass end squating down like a drunk whore!

i meant to remove the springs... when I did mine, I had to get someone to pretty much hang off the end of the rear axle like monkeybars so i could get the spring out, but they have come right out for other people.
Im sure you'll be aight with decent stands, and you'll love the results!Pete ::::>>> resident LED addict and CFI defector LED bulb replacements

Once the car is up in the air resting on the jack stands, if you stick a jack under the diff, take pressure off of the shocks, unbolt the shocks and unbolt the upper control arm from the housing and let the axle down some more, the spring will easily pop out.
