I'm planning on installing my HR springs next weekend possibly, anybody do this themselves and can comment on what to look out for? I've done springs on several different cars before.

 

If you've done a spring swap before you'll be fine. Look up the R030 suspension install article on RennTech as it's very good and will guide you on how the suspension comes out of the car. Once you get it down it's cake.

The worst part is getting the bottom of the rear shock bolted back into the control arm. Again check out the Renntech thread for tricks. Should be a 3-4hr job.

 

I can help if you need it. I did it in my garage one evening. Expect roughly 3-5 hours.

 

If you're coming out to California to work on his ride, can you swing through LA while you're here and help me with some stuff too JK I just saw that you lived in FL.

thanks for the info, will post some pics of course when its all done.

pacman - thx for offering lol, if you don't come out here, i don't think i can make it out there either haha. btw, did you just do a spring swap or did u upgrade your shocks too? how is the ride?

 

I can help via phone or email. I did springs and I dont see a negitive result from doing them. My 911 is a weekend warrior and even if there was a little bit of rough ride or bouncing it wouldnt bother me because tucking tire while driving is sick ( no rub ).

 

Pls post pics where ur done. I'm thinking to get mine done as well. I heard c4s takes longer bec its awd, true?!

 

GL with the install! your ride is going to look great! we just had H&R's done on our 996 and we're thrilled with the results!

can't wait to see some pics when it's completed!
