i installed the shorter ones in the front, and longer in the rear.

now my car is slammed in the front, and higgggh in the back.

could i have defective springs, or did i just mix em up?

heres a pic of what skunk2 springs are sopposed to look like....... PLEASE ANYONE

 

swap them around, the front needs more travel due to the increased weight.

you got them backwords..

are you serious? then i have to do it ALL over again

but for some reason i always thought the shorter ones go in the front, so i was wrong?

 

im pretty sure longuer ones in the front more weight in the front

 

Shouldn't the springs have "F" and "R" to indicate which goes where?

No, you should just know the difference before you install the entire thing and find out it's wrong.

I know the longer ones go in the front and shorter in the rear...I just remember when I was doing H&R springs on my old hatch...it was labeled on the springs...but i guess not all springs have em

Yeah, but they are so drastically different in size that I would think you'd just know, I'm not trying to break ***** or anything OP, I feel for you, it is a tedious job if you haven't really done it that many times and I'd imagine it would suck to have to do it again.

Oh well, live and learn.

yeah it took a while, and ran into some problems along the way.

im pretty depressed it sucks..... but im guessing itll only take me about 5 hours to swap em.

 

My hatch came with Skunk2 springs and looked nothing like the hatch posted up top Every corner had a different drop

 

are you guys positive the longer ones go in front?

 

sorry i dont have any advice on your problem..but i cant go by this trhead without asking if anyone knows what rims those are in that pic.i think they look amazing.

 

pm kefka

For real


I don't know a single car i've ever worked on with the shorter up front. You can complain all you want on your 5 hours but usually springs come with directions.

not these....................................... and im not looking forward to it at all

 

man i put springs on an rsx that wasnt taken apart yesterday and it took me an hour with one hand (literally) it should go quick since you did it yesterday. and remember theres no need for a spring compressor.

 

LOL! 5 hours!? you and a friend should be able to do this easily in 1.5-2 hours!! me and 2 of my friends swapped springs(eibach) on a dc4 in 45 minutes! it isnt that hard, as long as you can get the whole car up in the air at once it shouldnt be too bad! best of luck to you!

 

uh oh
