i hope that the new suspension you have is already aligned to fit right into the bolt holes, otherwise we will have to compress it again to align with the bolt holes. But yea, we can remove the stock out without a compressor... its just that we will need someone heavy to jump up and down on the axle or we take a lot of things out and put it back.
but yeah, the suspension should aligned already. shayne, the guy i got it from had it installed before he started to partout when he bought a supra.

It's super easy especially since springs and shocks are already together. That alone is the hardest if you only buy springs.
On my Nissan, from practice and working on it always!, I can swap out coilovers in several minutes.
Are you @ WSU?; man I can't wait for Spring Break too!

Im down to watch and learn. So then I can install my headers 
...But I am going to go with a mechanical o2 sim vs. electric o2 sim. So far, there is another IS owner with a mazzuri setup. And he did the Mechanical o2 sim and after 6 months, still no CEL. 
But he added a cat before the last o2 sensor. So he didnt need to modify that one. But I might run no cats, so we will see how that last o2 sensor works out

I do have an impact gun. I have a couple impact sockets but not alot so I'd need to know what you need to tell you if I have it or not. The gun itself doesnt have alot of tourqe and wasnt able to undo my lower strut bolt but my susp. is also quite a bit older then yours. My stepbrothers Snap-On impact gun got it loosened in a couple of seconds. I think it has a 85 ft/lb rating. If someone has a breaker bar/pipe, that'd be great if you could bring it just in case.
Only have 2 jack stands so more of those might be good. And my house has parking for 5 cars total. Me+4, we have a pretty packed street. No garage space, all work is done in the street but its a cul de sac so there's no traffic.
What ever day works best for you guys just let me know. Saturday/sunday would be better then monday. So 14/15th?
Oh ya, and anybody just bring over any tools you can manage. Sockets, wrenches, whatever, I hate working and realizing I dont have everything I need or wishing I had two of something

I'll pm my address to the 4 who are coming. Im not meaning to make anyone feel like they cant come, I just dont have alot of parking. If any extra want to come just to help or what not, there is more parking 4 houses down on the street that my street intersects with.
When working on cars, I always think first thing in the AM is the best. You never know what's going to go wrong and how much time it will actually take so I just leave my self as much as possible. Im down to start working early as 9 am
I finally got my cf pillar cover and repair kit so I'd like to fix my window trim and finally put my visors on. Then I can get it re-tinted asap and hopefully curtains/pillows get here before the GG meet.

Ok 14th it is. Who can I all expect to come? Tinh, Deek, Mark, Ray......Chris? We might have to have a car park down the street for a little while if some other cars are home.
