My rear struts are not coil over so I just unbolted the top mount and pulled down the A arm and used a pry bar as well to open up the spring to install the spacers. I didn't bother with zip ties but they seem like they won't go anywhere with the strut remounted and the weight of the car on the spring.
Thanx Man. Just bought these for my 05 grand marquis ill install em tmro. I may need two more tho after watching yourvideo. 4 on each spring 2 long way and 2 the short way cause ive got HEAVY speakers and the cars so long and heavy it still may not sit right w just 2 on each spring.
I had a wreck and it pushed the rear wall of the trunk forward a little so I'm gonna do this I hammered it back some but it's still just barely rubbing can't hear it but can feel the heat
it might work better if you find a way to lower the top mounts of the shock , like taking a bit out of the top cup they mount intoo or putting a filler piece inside the cup , that way the spring whont be loaded in a weird way
Actually theres a video that came out shortly after this one where i bought the cheapest coilovers i could find. They have been fine. Sorry i couldnt tell you more about the spacers
@@Phuong_Nguyen_ not a whole lot from my limited time with them. I ended up buying coilovers for super cheap and went with them. They have been great so far.
All due respect cuz I been-there-done-that....that thing is a time and money-sucking yellow deathtrap. No time to waste in 2021, flip vehicles and make $$$.
I struggle to think how someone could be so inept they kill themselves compressing a normal car spring with typical tools. Old wives tale for car guys.
That's a mistake alot of people make: thinking it's aift. It's not! All ur doing is stopping the compression. If u want ride height higher then get the lift spacers that the coils sit on instead.
@@benwoodside31 theyre rubber spacers u can buy at autozone or any auto place. they fit on the spring. then loosly zip tie them on and slide them as far up as u need then. then tighten the zip ties and let the car down. thats what i did and it worked miracles for my car
