That's what I thought. Anniversary Edition, too, IIRC.

Basically, what I was saying is that there are no Sport Sways, per se. Just AWD Sways and RWD Sways. But it certainly helps market a FS thread to refer to them as Sport Sways, and not entirely inaccurate either.

Swift springs got delivered today.

Ran to Auto Zone and rented the spring compressor.

Got spousal unit approval to do the install tomorrow.

Anyone want to take bets on:
A) how long it takes me?
B) how many of the 18 Sam Adams Octoberfests are remaining when I'm done?

Be sure to use a back up wrench on the front lower strut bolt, makes it real easy to break it free w/ the breaker bar, I'd PB blast it tonight if you can, or first thing in the AM. IMO that's the only thing that was any fight, and even that wasn't nearly as bad as I imagined. Also be sure to grease the crap out of those spring compressor threads and use an air impact to compress them.
I'm putting the over/under at 1.5 hours for the front and 30 minutes for the back (not including time it takes to jack it up and time to hit the fridge/cooler). If you're also installing F&R camber sets than I'll have to reevaluate

Oh, and regarding the Sam Adams, if it's just you, then should have about 10 left, a helper and you'll probably have to go back to the store.

I like your optimism!

No helper. No air impact, but I have an 18v Dewalt impact driver.

And I forgot PB blaster, so me and the 1/2 drive socket set are going in dry

Have you ever done anything like that before, Lego?

I put eibach springs on my Legacy GT. Had a shop compress the fronts, but they didn't align the top hats right so I had to re do them.

Put Konis and springs on my trans am, but again, took the fronts off and took them in to be assembled.

I think I got this

Worst case I cant get the front springs compressed and I take them to my mechanic.

I expected that. Sorry man. If you like the Titanium one maybe order a matching polymer one for the winter?

I flew solo w/ mine and took about 4 hours but that includes installing the F&R camber kit and elongating the rear toe slots. Took me about 1.5 hours to install my coilovers, but that included more beer breaks.
You'll do fine, hope you have a breaker bar though, and I'd still make a run for some PB blast, especially if your G was subjected to salty winter crud.

Damn John, looks like you went full gorilla on that shift lever
Must've been crazy tight

I have that going for me, southern car, never seen salt.

Hopefully a 6 point 1/2 impact socket and 24" breaker bar will do it. I have 24, 48 and 60" bar stock cheater bars that my machinest buddy made me too for backup....

Yeah man, I'm liking it. Just wrote up a quick review in my progress thread.

I usually find having a helper means everything goes a whole lot slower and there are more empties.

This is true both when I am the helper and when I have help.

Now that's funny, but sadly quite true

All those breaker bars and good Southern weather will be your keys to success Chris, you'll come through w/ flying colors, although your buddy Sam Adams may take it rough.
