ok so i just got the springs and was wondering which pair goes in front and which in back. I was thinkin lower ones in back but wanted to make sure.

 

i cannt remember BUT when you remove your stock springs. simply match them up! look at the springs ends. on one pair the ends are cut straight 90degrees and the other pair have a sliced smoothly for a flat surface. simply match them to the stock springs and your golden.

i also dont know WHY they dont label them from the factory but what ever.... they are pretty nice springs. i enjoyed them i just wanted lower only reason i switched them out.

 

yeah well cant tell cuz the person who had the car before had the springs cut so no idea

 

o sorry to hear. im sure someone else will chime in that knows which spring slant goes where.
heres the only pics i have of mine

only pics i have left from my old install. hopefully you can match them up if no one else pops in and helps.

 

The longer springs go up front and the shorter ones go out back I believe.

 

The thicker/stiffer springs go in the front since that's where most of the weight is concentrated. In this pic, the front springs are in the box. You can see that they are beefier than the ones in the back.

 

the F=front and R=rear should be labeled on the spring. from what i remember the longer ones goes in the back and the shorter ones go in the front

 

^ o ya just noticed that in my pictures.... the first letter says F or R. hell i never noticed that before.

 

yeah I noticed that once I had already asked you guys. lol . Well now I have them on and when I turn their is like a clicking noise on the front passanger side

 

how did the bushings look? and when does it click? turning, hiting a dip, hiting a bump and turning.

could be the bushing on the strut and control arm. or could be a worn balljoint that just got more obvious after the drop.
or you simply didnt tighten every bolt......

and when you tighten all the bolts its best to have the weight of the car on the control arm... simply use a jack to put just enough pressure on the control arm so it lightly lifts the car off the jack stand and then tighten down all the bolts.
problem with tightening the bolts with the suspension at full droop is when they get compressed from the weight of the car and even hitting a bump which compresses the strut/spring and since your bushings where tightened at full droop it will try and rip the bushing and depending how old the bushings are they can go bad very fast.

it makes sense really because the car will sit on its wheels most the time so the bushings are at rest and not being twisted so it has alot less travel/twisting to make them last along longer!

at least for stock bushings! now if you have those firm urethane bushings with the metal sleeves then they are not molded to the bushing/rubber so they cannt be torn.
