Lex01_430 Posted May 6, 2005 Share Posted May 6, 2005 My friend has all the tools to drop my car...how long will this take and how hard is it? How much do you think a shop would charge. Any tips?

As for how much A shop will charge Im not sure. If your friend has the tool to compress the springs and the tool to pop the ball joints its easy. Dont forget you will need a wheel alingment after you drop it or your tires will wear out on the inside real fast like :cries: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The service manual says to do it, but you definately save some time not messin with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
