5774, pro kit install?
Posted by 9D9 MITSU RS, Jan-18-02 07:41 AM
I got the eibach prokit today. The thicker springs go in the front don't they? Or do the smaller coil springs go up front? I assumed the thicker coiled springs would go up front to support the weight of the engine and everything. Let me know if I am wrong. Thanks.

i used the vfaq for groundcontrol coilovers, and corbin's site to help me through the install.

They really look the same height. 2 are smaller coils, and the other 2 are thicker coils. Do the thicker ones go up front???

I am probably selling them to a local Carolina DSM membe. If that falls through, I will sell them to you if that's what you want. I was saying 150 obo. I have paypal, so we can work it out. I'll let you know if I sell them. I posted on the CDSM site and some guys were interested, so I'll know soon.

If it's like most springs, there is a part number on the spring somewhere. A part number with the letter F usually means front, and R means rear. Hopefully that's how it is indicated, or else I dunno.

yeah the thicker coils are in the front. Be sure to line up the springs with the perches at the angle portion. Take your time in installing.

I got 'em on. Good stuff. Installed the 1st one in about an hour. Then came home. Today, me and my dad went to do the rest, and went at 12:30, and finished at about 3.
