im pretty sure my problem was that the rear springs were on the front, vice versa.
I called H&R and they were sure it was also my problem.
My question is, what sort of damage could I do to my springs if I ride them this way for a little while until I fix it?

 

lol, just, lol

 

1) No damage
2) your car will look extremely funny
3) the tall springs go in front, the shorter ones go in the rear
4) lol

 

at least i solved the problem, and theres no damage.

 

you put the bump stops on the shocks, right? otherwise I'd be worried about bottoming them out

 

yea those are on

 

u should be good. car may handle a little weird, maybe oversteer a bit. just take it easy on turns untill u get it fixed.

 

i wont laugh, i mean the front has more of a drop, so it would seem like they would have smaller springs on them, so i can understand the mistake, but still sucks for sure. Glad you figured it out though.

 

I hear of this happening too often. And I understand it's VERY easy to do!! Hell, my coilover sleeves are all flipped and crap. The manufacturers really have to start super-duper labeling things and write better instructions, that is, if they even have instructions to begin with.

Good luck switchin' 'em back!

 

Why not just take the time and switch them so that you don't take the chance of breaking something and really causing yourself a headache. It's not like you have to pull a motor or something that will take you a whole day, you could have that done in a few hours now that you know the bolts are seized up.
