Just ordered a set of Tokico Blues, Springs, and MM Caster/Camber Plates. What tools are needed to do this swap?

Just basic tools,Ratchets,sockets and of course a drill to drill the 4 Hole for the CC plates.

you dont need spring compressor.what you do is put the car on jackstands and with the floorjack put pressure on the A-arm and slowlly lower the jack until you are able to get the springs out.


not hard at all.

Also, when I take the strut off, would that be the time to do the C/C plates?

Any How To's on Lower Control Arm Installs?
Unbolt Spindle from control arm.

Unbolt the two bolts that hold them on, replace the arm, put the two bolts back in.

Bolt spindle back on. :)

It's super easy. A jack, a couple of jackstands, and some tools are you're done.

Go to the MM website and download their instructions - that will give you an idea of what you're in for.

Paul.
