ok, got a set off skunk 2 springs from a buddy, they are brand new, but he lost the box/instructions.

installed them, and something is wrong. IIRc, the taller, "skinny" springs go in the rear, and the short fat ones go in front! isnt this correct?!?!?

the front is low, and the rear didnt go down AT ALL!!! WTF?!?!

if im retarded, then i'll go outside tomorrow, and swap the fronts, and rears. but if i do that, then i'll need to get a spring compressor for the fronts. and i've never had to compress a lowering spring to get it on.

HELP!!

 

its my understanding (i'm probably wrong, only done this once and it was to a cavalier) that the shorter goes on the back. The front sprongs have tp be compressed, the rears SHOULD just slide right on with the suspension dropped.

the back end is always higher than the front, so the smaller springs go on back....


isnt that correct?

 

compare the front and rear stock springs to the lowering ones. thye look diff. the rear coils have more and are closer together. also fatter. the front has more spacing between them and less of them. also smaller. they also go in a certain way, i belive the flat side up...?

 

yea, flat side up.. (they have writing, and it also has to face the right direction)

but im hearing just as many "short ones go in back" as i do "tall ones go in back"

nobody has any instructions that came with their springs laying around??

 

long skinnies up front
short fatties in back

might be marked 'f' for front
and/or "R" for rears

not the same spring but you get the idea, fat ones on the right and skinnies on the left.
notice the R and F
