I have the GW upper and lower control arms and the QA1 coil overs that I am putting on my 1st gen subframe. As I am sure most are aware, it is not a "self contained" coil over, it utilizes the upper control arm to compress against. Seeing how my subframe is out of the car and their is no weight on it (engine not installed), how are you guys compressing the springs?
I have an internal spring compressor (no good with coil overs) and I bought an external spring compressor this morning, and that really doesn't fit either. The LCA gets in the way of the compressor bolt. I was considering cutting the compressor bolt down to get it to fit, but would prefer not to.
Beyond getting 5 friends to come over and sit on my subframe to compress the springs, is there another way? :hmm:
