My mechanic despite his many years of "experience" intsalled my rear passenger side spring upside down. Speedtech told me I will not need a spring compressor to remove and re install it properly. I heard it from the source so that should be ok. I could use some feedback from anyone out there with experience on a Gen II integra with similar set up. I am asking because I am gonna take it out and fix it this afternoon. I just had them put in wednesday. Than my mechanic went on vacation and can't fix it till next thursday(jerk). Susp. Tech. strongly urged me to fix it asap. Thanks in advance for any helpful pointers and advice regarding this.

 

I figured Susp. Tech. knew what they were talking about....a second opinion was the what I needed to be sure though. Thanks for a quick reply! I can't believe my mechanic made such a careless error. He was whining about having a hard time getting that spring into the perch on the strut. Duuuuuhhhhh! I should have done them myself. Then he said the spring is faulty and it was installed correctly because it only fits in one way. He said the other one went in no problem. The coils are progressive so you can easily see that the one is in upside down.

 

why not make him fix it?

 

He is out of town until next wednesday. I need the car this week. Susp. Tech. recommended fixing it right away due to the fact that it is not seated properly because he shoe horned it in. I only paid him for the work on the front right now. I would not pay him the rest until he fixed it. He was not around when I picked the car up on wednesday. I showed him the mistake thurs. morning. He was heading out of town on vacation thursday afternoon. He is independent, not working for a garage so I can't make someone else fix it either. Took him 2 days to do it too. I am already shopping around for someone new. I live in Northern Virginia so any suggestions from anyone about a reliable garage for performance upgrades are appreciated.
