lowering springs question??
[B]My set of Tenzo R lowering springs came today, there suppose 2 give me a 2.0 to a 2.25 inch drop back and front. two of the springs r shorter and the other two are a little bit longer do the short ones go on my front struts or the taller ones???
AND
All 4 springs have a wide base with a kind of flattened bottom and on the other side a smaller coil that is not flattenet but a perfectly round coil. what side should face up when im doing my instalation on my struts the wider end coil or the smaller end coil.

If you're going to the install your self then look at the stock srping for orientation...but the flat end should go on top and the rounded end down...
I'm not 100% sure but the longer srping is in the front and shorter rear...

try to figure it out b4 you take out the stock spring, if you dont know then i dont know if it's safe to work on a car you dont know much about. you might get stuck in some areas takin it out. or shot by a spring.
listen to aznstyler. i dont know how much experience you have in auto mechanics, but replacing your springs can be dagerous. first of all, you will need a spring compressor so that the spring doesnt shoot out. i have known someone to shoot a spring and make a nice hole in his garage.

Search on Honda-Tech, I've read a lot of threads on safe ways to do it without a spring compressor, like wrapping it in a huge towel so it has no where to shoot, I think one person even shot his into the gabage can..lol.

when i lowered my car, i had used a spring compressor... kinda pointless. just have a bucket infront of the spring.
i believe that the longer, skinnier springs go in front. good luck
