H&R Cup Kit Installation...
okay guys, I had the kit just sitting in my trunk for a while
now i finally have sometime to install the kit this week..
my question is for those who installed the kit themselves.....was it hard to do??, do i need any special tools?......can i install it with just jackstands??.....is there any online instructional pages that i can turn to???.....did u have someone install it for you??
sorry but im just wondering what to expect when i try to attempt the installation......i dont want the car to be sitting in the garage unfinished for a while if anything goes wrong....
thanks guys

I had to use a spring compressor to get the fronts and rear springs out. I've read of others who did not need to use a spring compressor for the rear, but I can't imagine how you would get the springs out of the front without the compressor.
Rented mine from Performance products for a fee. Don't remember what it was. It's a specific kind of compressor so don't try to use one designed for struts.
Definitely would read up and search the forum for the tools you'll need and the effort needed before you start. There's tons of info here.
I assume you sorted out your spring pad choices as well?
good luck!
