H&R Racing Springs
I currently have coilover on my 99 civic. I want to put on H&R springs on. I was wondering if I need to rent spring compressor( strut spring tool) to install the H&R springs on.
I know that the coilover can be taken off the car without the use of the spring tool.
Just need to know if the H & R springs can just fit in there. Thanks in advance

Re: H&R Racing Springs (inthad)
you will need a spring compressor to get the springs on the struts of the car. i assume that you have a full coilover system? i believe you need to do this for sleeve coilovers as well

I'm not 100% sure because I haven't done this in awhile.
But..
I don't think you need the compressor tool. That's only for taking springs OFF the struts that were installed on your car.

Re: H&R Racing Springs (iBear)
I had taken the coilover off without the compressor before for the installation of the kyb shock/strut.
But I'm just worry about the H&R spring installation.
Thanks for the inputs
Anybody else?

Re: H&R Racing Springs (inthad)
Now that I think about it, just put the H&R springs on your struts. Install everything and you're good to go.
No compressor needed.

Re: H&R Racing Springs (iBear)
IMO you should use it because you need to take the preload off of the upper and lower spring perches
EDIT: only if you are taking the sleeves off you. you don't HAVE to use them to put your springs on but then again i would just to be on the safe side

Re: H&R Racing Springs (mini-meEj1)
If it was stock springs, then I would.
But I have coilover, I just lower it down and take it off.
But for the new springs (H&R) is what? I need it or not?
Nobody exprience this?

Re: (inthad)
if the struts u have now are the stock ones they are probably blown so theres no pressure at all u can just take the nut off it by yourself no spring compressor needed or anything

Re: (Midori Green)
No, I have the agx kyb shock/strut on the coilover now.
I want to install the H&R racing spring on it.
Any problems with it? spring compressor wise?

Re: (inthad)
nope u need nothing just loosen it up... i mean if u dont believe me and u feel unsafe by all means have somebody stand on the strut while you loosen the nut and point it towards an open area lol and very good choice on the h&r spring u while love it.. especially the ride height

If you feel uneasy about it just rent one at autozone for about $45.
It's free and if you do/dont use it, just return it for your money so, why not?
FYI I had to use a spring compressor for my friends H&R spring install onto stock shocks.
