I recommend doing both installs at the same time since the hardest parts will already be done in order to just swap springs. It's well worth it (spoken from someone who upgraded from the FE3 suspension).

why are you guys doing the rears then fronts way later??? i think it took me 30-45min to do the rear. i torched the plastic to get the spring somewhat seated and jacked up each wheel to seat them further. fronts were easy as pie with the help of air...and wd-40 to loosen an endlink nut that GM decided to **** me with

I personally ran out of time. The rain kinda screwed me over. Like as soon as I let the rear of the car down the rain came out of nowhere and the bottom dropped out.

I thought they were 18's, good thing I asked. I was just stating my opinion. I used to own a Honda so if you werent tucking tire it was GTFO. The front isnt bad but the rear needs a tad bit more. I like about 1 finger gap of space.

This thread is about great handling. Not shitty drop springs.
