how to change coilover springs..

[silviaguy240]

yea yea noob question. ive looked around and havent seen actual info on the changing of the springs. i want to put my 9/7 springs on my stance. Question im asking is do you need a spring compressor or no?

If you have little or no preload on the coilover spring there isnt any need for a compressor. Just take that top nut off and swap the springs.

If you don't wanna mess up your pre-load then un-bolt the fronts from the nut on the strut shaft and pivot them out to remove the springs. In the rear you have to remove the damper completely, but you can still un-bolt the strut shaft nut to keep your pre-load the same. No you do NOT need a spring compressor. The spring perches are adjustable man! That's just common sense right there.
