^^oh I gotcha, my dad was mad he didnt bring his air compressor home. If i had air tools i would have used them. It defiantly would have saved a ton of time on compressing the springs.

lol yea

when i get my coilovers they will be super easy. Just take out the old and pop in the new ones since they come with top mounts. Will just take awhile to adjust them.

I'm in Savage, and the shop I used for my alignment is Foline Automotive in Belle Plaine. Just head south on 169 for about 35 minutes and it will be off to your right.

Skip is the owner and they are not open on the weekends. Give him a call and tell him Jason with a silver Scion tc sent you to get (insert your part here) installed.

Good Luck!
