So I am growing ever more tired of looking at this box of springs. My question is to anyone who has installed springs on their own, how long did it take for you to install your springs, and what tools should I have ready. I assume I do NOT need a spring compressor, but whatever else you think I need?
Matt. Also... off topic, but is the ST202 frame the same as the AT200?.. dont laugh if its a dumb question.. im just looking at chassis parts. -------------------- 1991 MR2 - T-tops - Crimson Red - Gen3 3SGTE - Lots of money

The only thing you really have to be careful with is the sway bar end links. Spray them really good with pb blaster and use a wire brush drill bit around the threads showing and work the nut loose back and forth so you dont mess them up. I ended up having to replace one endlink (50$) because i was in a hurry and ended up jacking it up. Also make sure you put the top strut mounts on right and facing the right direction.
