I bought one yesterday from Harbor freight for $37, plus I had a 20% coupon.
They also included a free LED flash light. This was at their VA Beach location.

Preciate the offers, but I had my friend and his somewhat mechanic neighbor help.

Unfortunately we did not get it done. The spring compressor i rented sucked donkey *****. The pins that helped the compressor hold on to the spring got jammed, so I spent a hour prying those out. By time we returned the compressor and got a new set, it was 4pm and we all had other stuff to do, so we stopped. Probably should have started earlier.

Anyway I took that as a sign. Ive been debating whether I wanted to sell the springs or not, because i think the drop is going to be too aggressive. It drops a supra 1.6" F and 1.0" R, so thats 2+" F and 1.5+" R for a SC. There are alot of bad roads and speed bumps where I live and I dont want to worrying about clearance everywhere I go.

No one ever checks the Southeast section of clublexus, there will be one soon, people just need to post down there more and we'd have a pretty healthy following
