For those that have installed new springs and still have their stock springs, could you do me a favor and please post a pic of the front and the rear. I want to put my stock fronts back on temporarily, because my car is too low on the front and I don't want to risk damaging my new kit and paint job.

I brought back a pair of springs from my parents house, but I don't remember if they're for the front or rear. I know I can find out by removing the springs that are currently on, but it's going to be more pain than it's worth. If someone could be so kind... I would be most greatful!

Thanks in advance.

EDIT: And in case you're wondering, I can't find the other pair... which I why I'm asking for this favor. If I had the other pair, I would be able to tell the difference... but I don't. frown.gif Thanks again...

Hold on, I have mine somewhere.

....

Okay, I can't find my stock springs, but I currently have the front on my Intrax Springs and the back on Coilover's. So I still have my brand new rear Intrax Springs laying around. Here's what the rear Springs look like, as far as I know, the rear's have that narrow top, and the fronts are one size. Picture is kind of dark, but I hope it helps.

No no no no.....

Chill out dude. I dont think hes going to be doing a track day with this setup. He probably just needs something temporaily until everything is sorted out. Its not at all unsafe to mix and match springs. It can result in a weird handling balance but as long as you're aware of this and don't drive like an idiot, you'll be fine. How do you think racecars are setup? Do you think they just buy an eibach pro-kit and call it good????? Think again. We've got over 50 different pairs of springs on the wall of our trailer.

In case you guys didn't see my other post, the springs that I brought back from my parents house were the correct pair. I put them on last night... and with the weight of the 3S... my car looks as low as it did with my custom springs and the 7A motor. I'm pretty happy now... all I need to do is get my front bumper fixed again...

Thanks for the help and input guys...
