Hey guys I'm new here. Got a 2007 toyota corolla, recently just got a set of lowering springs. Does anyone have a DIY on how to install them. Anything from a 2003 corolla and up is the same setup, so if you got anything let me know :D I got the general idea on it but would rather something to go by.

Its a project car so bare with me! :D

how hard was it? and btw is a spring compressor recommended? ive seen it done with and without it

not too hard, just need the right tools

a breaker bar helps heaps

unless you want to die, then yes get a spring compressor,

you'll also need it to get the hats on properly for the fronts, unless your going super low

bonbon-2zzge you do know the ZRE152 is different from the ZZE 122/3??

Fronts may be similiar but the back is totally different. ZRE152 doesn't have struts on the rear but has a shock that is independant of the spring.
