Talking finished installing springs

installed springs yesterday along with OEM replacement shocks and struts, and oh man what a difference. the steeda springs gave me a great drop without making it a gravel cruiser. and the ride is almost like stock, slightly bumpier but hey, its a performance machine right? anyway, i was pulling the drivers side rear spring, and it came out a little easier than i thought, then once i had it out, it turned out the spring was broke!! about 3 coils down from the top, it was snapped in half, and just hangs there. can you beleive it? anyway, i'd recomend springs for a great upgrade, specificalyl steeda sports. and do it yourself, all you need is an air gun and sockets. it takes awhile and can sometimes be a pain in the rear, but i'd do it again instead of paying over 100 bucks to have it done.

Glad i could have helped ya out over the phone a little. We have to meet up sometime this week and go to great lakes. I wanna see your badboy!

I love my steeda springs too. But remember keep an eye on the steering for it may gain some play after a while. Mine did and i bought the steeda x2 balljoints and the response is MUCH better.
