so i decided to put my stock springs back in for my ground control and eibach springs. i believed it was some of the reason for the excessive rear noise and for the car feeling squirly. It was. sorta. but anyway the old spring came out easily. the new one. not so much. i didnt know that u could unbolt the rear shock and lower the rear axle a good couple inches. So in my infinite wisdom i used the clamps of hell or as mechanics call them spring compressors. well 1of the 2 compressors slid on the spring towards the other and stuck my 3 fingers in the spring. fun :banghead: once the spring was finnaly in.2 hours later. 1 of the clamps was jammed on the spring and wouldnt come out. AGGH. one thing after another. once i unbolted the shock. the 2nd one took 20min. a learning curve to say the least.

it did make the ride a little smoother but im almost positve now the rest of the noise is the exahust moving side to side because all that really holds it is 2 rubber hanging mounts.
