Hi guys, I have done front coils on both much newer and much older cars than my 3rd gen before. I have already installed rear WS6 springs and need to install the front WS6s with my new struts soon. Are there any helpful tips on doing these front springs? It looks like I have to use a spring compressor to compress the spring as far as I can, then put a floor jack under the lower control arm, remove the two pivot bolts, then swing the arm out of the way and take the spring out. Install is reverse of removal? Anything fancy here? Thanks! I wish these cars had real unitized struts so I could do springs on the floor but oh well.

 

(Put the car on jack stands first) What i have done is just take the sway bar end link off, and pop the lower ball joint lose, but before you take the nut off but a jack underneith it and then take the nut off. Then lower the jack. Wa LA... the spring comes out. If your going to take off the 2 bolts that bolt the control arm to the chassis, make sure you tighten them when the car is ar ride height not up in the air.
