So I'm trying to put stock suspension on my 90 EF base hatch. The last owner ha dput on lowered coils and I'm trying to get it back to stock height..

I bought the full strut set (same as oreilys) for front and rear. I was under the impression that they're struts, so that means I won't need coils.. But after talking to the tech I guess only certain struts come with internal movement.

So now I'm trying to look up what exactly I need. I have a full set of struts

But now I'm looking to try and get the springs... I've looked up the diagram in all data and it just isn't very clear. Just looking for a little input.. are the rear springs any different than the front? Also does it matter brand wise what springs I get? Probably just looking to get cheapest.

Thanks dudes

You need spring to go with the struts. One spring per strut. Fronts are different that rears. Best brt would be find them in a junkyard.

 

yeah springs are crazy exp even for stock.. luckily i have a parts car at the junk.. hopefully its still there. do these springs really wear out over time?

 

No, as long as they were never cut or heated with a torch they will be fine.
