    Well, I'd think I shouldn't have had to specify that the car should be jacked up. I don't think any method of removing the coil springs would end well otherwise.

    Also...

    my point...we have some young Gearheads coming on here. some take what we say at face value.

    *Don't ever, ever do anything I write about, ever. I am not a sane person and you should stay away from any activity that makes you more like me. Always think, "What Would Drew Do" and do something else.

    if you have to put that in a post in a tech thread...don't post it...JMO

    Alright man, it was just a joke and I thought an obvious one, but I see your point and I'll try to watch my mouth in the tech section.
