Talking Sprint Spring Install Done

After 4 hours of fighting with seized bolts on the control links, they are finally in.....Nice drop over all. They are 2" drop all around. The rear sits a tad bit higher....but not complaining about it. Nice comfortable ride. Will be posting pics as soon as the digital camera is set up and everything else.

load your trunk up with as heavy stuff you can find, and leave it like that as long as you can. it helps to settle the rear springs

I got the springs from a good friends that runs a shop here in Ottawa. I paid $250 tax incl.

Are you talking about the swaybar endlinks? If so... did you try using an Allen wrench? I've removed mine to lube my swaybar bushings and they came right off, and my car's two years older than yours.

Yes I did use a allen wrench. Take into consideration that we have something called winter here. They use salt and it rusted and siezed that bolt.
