Replacement Springs--Progressive or Not? 120-130

I did mine all at once.


My recommendation if you want to spread the task/cost out-

All shocks first (easy)
springs (harder)
bushings (hardest)

The bushings are by far the most difficult part of the operation. It requires removing the a-arms in the front, torque rods etc. in the back. Then you need to take them to someone with decent press equipment (local alignment shop - well worth the cost of labor!) to have the old bushings pressed out and the new ones pressed in. To get these out you will have to remove the springs and shocks.

Look on http://vclassics.com for a tech article by phil S. that explains how to do it.

Good luck,
steve
