then I went out and rented this completely useless coil spring compression kit
and after badinkering with it for an hour or two I decided to give up on the passenger side cause clearly installation is NOT the reverse of removal, ha ha |

I decided to do the driver side My Way (hang the upper control arm, conjoin the spindle to it with the lower control arm attached only at the front to the spindle) then insert coil spring and gently jack the whole contraption up and whalla job done! |

and just like that we knocked off another 2 seconds off our quarter mile putting us well under 45 seconds, ha ha
