I'll be getting there around 9am, and It'll take somewhere in the neighborhood of 4-5 hours to finish. I'll be going to Pavillions after a carwash once Eric is done. If someone with a nice camera and 'better than me' photography skills (Yruyur, @nelsmar, jeffsides) isn't busy, I know Eric would like some higher quality pics of his work once he's done, and I know I'd like something better than a bunch of cell phone pictures for my Forge project.

Also, I'm trying to get an idea of how many people would be willing to switch to/buy an ECU tune from Goodspeed Performance Lab out of Scottsdale? They aren't writing their own tunes yet, but I'm trying to convince them to start. The more people I get on board, the stronger the argument gets. I know there were one or two people who expressed interest when it was brought up at the mothers day BBQ, but I'd like to get a solid list of names.

In in LA for Eibach so I won't be ale to take any pics today

On the tune I would have been interested but ended up paying Visconti. I would have much rather pay someone local. I hate the idea of a remote tuner. Down the road I might be willing to pay depending what it will cost since ecutek has to be completely retuned when switching tuners.

Anyone who did their springs have any advice, recommend any tools, before o get started this am?

[GotM]

I have not done springs before. But, will to provide some help if needed. I was planning to stop by for the exhaust tips'.

What time were you going to get started?

Impact wrench, or a pair of vice grips to hold the 14mm socket (could be wrong on size) and a long hex key to keep the shaft from spinning. DO NOT LET THE SHOCK SHAFT SPIN!!!!! You can destroy the seals that way in a hurry. I suggest an impact wrench and keep a close eye on the shaft so it doesn't spin. Remember, the spring is under tension, spring compressors are your friend.

I'm looking for a pass through half inch drive ratchet wrench at the moment. Impact guns are bad news bears.

Dan whenever you want to swing by is fine. I'm just driving to local hardware stores presently.

Also, I suggest a torque wrench. If you don't have one, but one; can't afford one, rent one from somewhere. They are a lifesaver. The service manual is on the forum somewhere, it has all the torque specs.

I have 4 of those...

I need a pass through socket wrench so I can hold a t bar Allen key in the shock shaft, keeping it straight, and the turning the wrench to loosen the top nut.

Looks like a strap wrench is what I'll have to use to hold the shaft.
