HELP!! can anyone tell me which springs are for the front and which are for the back? and those dampers are GAB Superstroke 4ways for ITR if anyone wants to know, and the springs are RS*R ones..

BTW: one rear shock on top where the adjust is, is totally squished and can't be turned.. is there another way to adjust maybe? you just use a screwdriver and turn at the top in a slit for the others.. but the slit is shaved and squished and I can't turn it. the other 3 are ok though.

Thanks!

 

I am almost certain the 2 sets of springs to the left are for the front, while the 2 sets off to the right are for the rear of the vehicle. Same listing with the shocks, the left two are for front and the right two are for the rear, the shocks I am certain, the springs a somewhat sure is correct.

 

I've got a reply exact same as yours also.. thanks!

 

Left front, Right rear.


I am only familiar with the Tokicos but if you can take the squished part out of the top you may be able to use one from another strut to adjust it.

The springs have the same diameter on one end and a different diameter on the other. Match this up with the struts. I would have said the right was the front. It has more coils to support more weight as opposed to the rear that has less coils to support less weight.

 

The fronts springs are always cut level at the top, the rear springs just stop.

As for the struts, no idea. Can you move the adjusment **** from one to the other?

 

when I got the springs and shocks, the ones on the left were matched to the front dampers

 

i'm almost 100% sure that the ones on the left are for the REAR, and the ones on the right (the smaller ones) are for the FRONT

(contradictory to everyone elses post of course).

I installed shocks/springs myself and I remember the rears being so much easier because the springs were wider and the coils were farther part, thus letting the spring compressor go on it ALOT easier than the fronts.

When I started doing the front, it was alot harder.. i was upset, the coils are so much closer together so it took me alot longer.
