We just bought some adjustable coilovers and we are installing today. Having problems: There are two different spring sizes on each coilover, one heavy duty one and a thinner one. Two of the coilovers are marked "0700.2.75.008" which i'm geusing is the spring rate. The others are marked "0500.2.75.010". The overall height difference is about half and inch. Which ones go on th front and which on the back? Please if you have any ideas post back a.s.a.p.

 

The stiffer ones go on the front.

 

are the 500 stronger or are the 700? i cant tell by pushing down on them?

 

700 is stiffer.

 

hey i have a question, on the back springs, there is a section where the coils are very close, and the other side of the spring where the coils are farther apart. Which side goes up and which goes down? Im asking because on my neuspeed sports, the words go up where the closer coils are on top, whereas my friends v6 has eibach written up when the closer coils are on the bottom. Does it matter and which way is correct?

Thanks

 

It really makes no difference.

 

Well the install is now finished, but one problem. With the 700 in the front, the rear is slamed down with the coilovers being at their max height. So I question whether or not we did it right. I think that 500=front and 700=rear, but I'm not sure. Shoul I switch them and see how it looks or did I put them on right?

 

Just switch them. I guess they weren't marked with the spring rates like I thought. But it seems as if the 500's are 10in springs, and the 700's are 8in from the numbers you gave me.

 

yeah I think that's what I should do since the rear pop's every time the car hits a bump...

 

make it so that the closer coils are on top....the progressive springs seem to ride better this way...and you will also notice that they will stiffen faster when taking a tight corner...
