no progress
 

I got my butt kick by the front springs yesterday. #-o

New plan will try again on Saturday :-k

Got my butt kicked again by the front springs :evil:

What seems to be the problem ?
](*,)

I'm not having the best luck getting my drag springs in the car.

I have no motor or tranny in the car so I can't jack up the lower control arm to condense the spring.

I rented the inside spring compressor, but then I can only compress it on to the lower control arm. It reduced the spring enough, but then I can’t get it to line up with the upper spring perch.

I tried the outside spring compressor, but when compressed the rod extends past the spring.

This is starting to piss me off, plus I’m hammering my pretty springs up.

I called a couple of local spring places to see if someone will compress and bind the springs, but no one wants to do that for me.

Does anyone know of any spring places that will work with me?

Sounds like a bitch ,(a female dog)LOL. Should you wait until you get your motor in
if it will help?

I was hoping to get the suspension in and run the new brake lines with the motor out to make my life easier, but why should anything on this car go easy.

Yeah It doesn't sound like its working!! :roll:

Buy 8 50lb bags of sand [about $2.50 each] and stack them in your engine bay. Or just buy the bags and fill them with dirt from your yard.
