Default Anyone in the NNJ area want to do a "group" install of the Vogt GT suspension? I have a lift and

tools and have done suspensions on the S4 and other cars before, but thought it would go faster if one or two other people want to do theirs as well and help each other out.

It would be a long day to do three, but if the pinch bolts come off easily, it shouldn't take more than 3-4 hours/car.

I planning on doing mine in a couple of weeks. I live in Morris county.

Default I hear ya' guys, but I tried this the last time I swapped my suspension. I don't remember what the

problem was, but ran into an issue getting the shock/spring assembly out. So I finally said "screw it" and took the whole thing out as a single unit. This time I'll try it again and see if I have better luck.

Well, you can watch/drink beer and hand us tools. How's that sound? :-)

Default Sure thing :-) I'm happy to help out too but after beer #4 someone needs to check my work.

Post up when this is gonna happen. I've got a busy travel schedule but if I'm in town, I'd like to meet up and wrench with some locals.

I just removed the TRE. Didn't have to remove anything else.
