Anyone want to help with an STI spring install? (408, 650, etc...) **Updated**
Hey all--
I've got a set of springs to install on my 2006 STI and would very much like to learn how to do it myself. I've read some online tutorials, and while I'm convinced that it's not very hard, it seems that there are a bunch of little things to keep track of... and I would be leery trying to do it all myself.
Is anyone (experienced with this install) willing to lend a hand? I have all the necessary tools (wrenches, sockets, jack stands), would just need to rent a spring compressor. I'll buy us lunch, dinner, beer, soda, whatever. I'd even be willing to PAY you to help me. I would even come to you.
Thanks!

Hey. When Bell_R says he'll buy beer, he buys a lot of beer. Hehe. Great guy. I still have all the beer. I stashed it away in my closet somewhere so my roomies wouldn't jack it. Haha.

I might be down to help out. I've installed many sets of springs for people. 
Where are you located and do you have a garage? I have all the tools already.

Hey Bell, I have some some experience with spring install... and what a coincidence, I have some jdm pinks to put on my own car... (I have tools, the only thing missing is a helper). Maybe we can work out a deal to get both our cars done in one weekend?

Dang I'd love to help, but I'm pretty booked these days. Post up when you will be installing and I'll see if I can make it too.
