If it's SMS for the material, just give up now...I'll never get my time and frustration back from that garbage business.

Re: "it" has begun....
from your photo i was wondering if you kept tires on ground, removed control arm bolts, and then simply raised car into air until coil springs had all the force off them. that would make the job so much easier.

Re: "it" has begun....
ya, 2.5 hours record time. I’m seeing mainly hammers there 
would love to see a video of how you are doing coil springs. the job scares me.

Re: "it" has begun....
After i realized the car was sitting on the lift when i measured the last set of springs, i remeasured, and it was sitting "aftermarket low". Not what i was looking for so i cut another set of same code and free height springs i had. I'm really happy with the "factory look" now.
also something that has been bothering me, did round 1 of wheel well cleanup an detailing.
