alright, I'm installing these on my Neuspeed Koni Yellows, I previously had Tom's Motor Sport Adjustable Springs, and let me tell you, it was the worst ride ever !

so I took those off, and now I'm installing my new Eibach sport Springs, and they look Super big ! my old ones are tiny compare to these




this bolt is at the tightest it can go, should I loosen it so the spring will expand ?



my neuspeeds are already on the "lowered" position, so it's about an 1" lower then stock


my old adjustable spring, with my new one installed on the strut, and my new uncompressed spring



so my question is, how tight do I put the first bolt at the top ?
and these look very big to me, are these even the right springs ? haha

the whole thing feels very very stiff.

anyways, I kinda do need answer fast, cause my car is apart, I need it for tonight

thanks

looks good to me.. the length is normal. those other ones are so short because there cheap, thats why they sucked..

mr poo

thats actually pretty damn far compared to how my springs were put in

Eventualy it will stop turning.
And your comparing coilover springs to a full lowering spring.
The reason its so short is because of the collar.

yeah, looks good.

when you put that nut on top , on the tightest, did u put the washer down on first then the nut? if yes, nm, if no, you need to put 1 on

You probably need to put the shock perch back the stock height.

WHAT?

They are short cause they are a coilover spring. The ground control kit with Eibach race springs are the same way!

Yes, those springs are okay, they look to be the same weight as a stock spring.

The top nut should tighten against the washers and bushings. Being a Koni shock, you should first put a flat washer against the welded stop on the top of the rod. Then put the lower bushing inplace, the top mount, the top bushing, and the top washer followed by the top nut and tighten it down inplace.

The top mount assembly should be snug against the lower bushing. Typically you need to use a spring compressor to compress the spring and then tighten together the top mount onto the shock rod and then release the spring to the top mount.

When I was done assembling my Koni's, there was a lot of thread showing on the top. Koni gives you two thin nuts to put on as well to lock them together, looks like you only have one.
