    Just be carefull you don't kill yourself removing the old ones. Either chain them in there or cut with a torch after you have the car held up with safety stands under the frame.

    Yeah.....springs are under crazy pressure. I use a chain and a bolt to secure the spring to the lower control arm so it doesn't come flying out. The can...and will...break windows. Ask how I know!
