due to selling my car I'm reverting back to my stock springs. When I took them off I unfortunately forgot to lable them. Does anyone know whether the wider circumfrence springs go in the front or the rear? Also if anyone has a pic of their stock suspension all together I would apreciate that to help me remeber exactly how everying should fit together although I should konw with out it: it will be helpful. thanks cormudgen |

the wider springs go up front, the smaller ones go in the back. when you match it up with the strut and shocks it should go in snug. also you need a spring compressor to install them. will this help?

you shouldn't need a spring compressor..i know i didn't need one when taking my suspension apart. also, i'm pretty sure the wider/shorter springs go up front, and the more narrow/taller springs in the rear? i think, i'm not positive. it's been a while.

Mynzeyes is correct. Wider/shorter up FRT, etc. As far as compressing them back into stock position, yes you need to compress them back. RR's didn't need to much to uncompress when I took my RR's out, but the FRT's need to be. Sorry but I have no pics of the originial, I had them but I think I deleted them. Make sure your springs are seated and going in the right position also. |
