Hi everyone,

It's supposed to be sunny and near 70 degrees the rest of the week here in 
Minnesota so I hope to get my roadster out on the road sporting its new 
shocks.  Just wanted to thank everyone for the advice about how to get that 
darn bottom plate back on that holds the spring in place.  I ended up trying 
what Eric sayed.  I unbolted the upper ball joint from the upper a-arm. That 
in turn droped the lower a-arm with the spindle down enough to put the plate 
back on without a spring compresser.  And you know what, it worked very 
slick.  I don't think it would have been much easier using a spring 
compresser.  And best of all, I didn't have to spend $60 on a spring 
compresser.

Now I just have to get my L20b put back together so I can do the swap.
