Where to buy/rent.....

[Smarty39]

Does anyone have a good idea where to buy or rent a couple spring compressors? I'm not sure where to start calling around, and I was hoping to do the coilover install on the S4 tomorrow......

Re: Where to buy/rent.....

ya, I'm gonna' do it myself.....well, with the help of a buddy and alot of liquid courage! I try and do a little write up afterwards, but from what I've heard it isn't too bad (knock on wood). I hope to finish it all tomorrow barring any major hiccups.

Oh, and I already found the spring compressors....I forgot my dad has a set

I'm glad my dad had a spring compressor....the ones from Auto Value were brutal

Anyway, I did the coilover install today with my pops and it was VERY straight forward. I chose the STaSIS street sport coils from TKO Motorwerks, and I am already very impressed. The install took about 5 hours, but I'm sure it could be done in less than 3 if we had to do it again.

If anyone is planning on installing their own suspension but were weary of it....DON'T BE!!!!

Pics to come......

Hey! I got the same c/o's for my A4. Haven't got them in yet. I will also be doing the install myself.

Did you use ramps or jackstands? And how have the street sports changed the ride quality?

Canadian Tire pwns for spring compressors, 3 day rental for free so if you don't finish one day you can work on it the next day without the hassle of having to return them.
