1) How often, if ever are you folks who have repeatedly changed out the front struts changed the strut bolts? I've had them in and out 3 times and will be replacing the bolts this time.
2) That said, is it possible to swap the springs by loosening the strut rod nuts, lowering the control arm, compressing the strut rod, replacing the spring, and then putting stuff back in place? I'm not home right now to go look, but figured I'd throw this in here to see if anyone noticed it was possible. I know DiMora changed some springs this way but I believe he was doing the struts at the same time. Can't find the thread anyway, on any forum.
