As in... installing the spring below the strut?

 

yes

 

My guess would be you'd blow out the strut... what are you trying to accomplish?

 

just wanted to lower my car but did by my self so idonno just wasnt sure if i did it right and whay would bu thye diffence imthinking either way has same effect on strut

 

It just doesn't seem like a good idea to me, but I'm no doctor.

My motto has always been do it once, do it right- the first time.

 

thank yo i guess ima have to do it over again

 

wait what?! im confused...wtf are you tlaing about? how do you put the sleeve on the top...and what top?....theres only one place to slip it on. are you talking about the spring perch? as in its on top of the spring instead of on the bottom?

 

whats the spring perch im take apic hold on

that not right .. do it the other way .. it wont make much noise and for the rears knock out the cups and flip them ova u can get another 2"s good luck

 

dayum expletive gotta go bacc out side lol

 

hahahaha. thats funny. yea, that thing is upside down.

 

lol......i think you should leave it up to a mechanic at this point.

thats embarassing. i've heard of people cutting the spring perch off to go even lower.

i got a better story. before when i useto work at a grocery store, i was out int he lot gathering carts when a scion xB rolls into the parking ******* dumped to the ground. i approached the guy and asked him what his suspension set-up is. he told me he took the springs out and is riding on struts.

 

wow....the things people will do to ride dumped. I mean yeah it looks pretty damn cool but do you seriously want to drive around all day with no suspension preload? LOL i'd venture to bet you'd have back problems before they were meant to be.
