Posted by Lo RS 4Me, Jun-05-02 05:07 PM
ok i bought some sportlines from someone for 25 bucks they're in great shape he just wanted to get rid of them it was just springs and no box or directions or anything all i needa know is which ones go in front and which ones go in the back he told me skinnier ones in front and fatter ones in back, i just wanted to confirm this

yeah the sknny ones go on the front, you can compare them to the stock springs to see which one goes where. They will look the same other than different heights.

fat ones in the front because they hold the engine and drivetrain weight and skinny's on the rear since there's nothing back there really.

to confirm what most have said already the thicker/fatter ones will go on the front of the car, and the skinnier/thinner ones on the back.

Yea man you're not gonnna want to ride on the stock shocks with Sportlines. The stock ones just aren't strong enough. I mean you *could*, but you'd bounce around like what. You're also gonna need camber kits for the front and the back. I'm not sure if the $15 rear camber adjustment mod found on the mods page of 2GNT will suffice for the Sportline drop. You picked some pretty aggressive springs there buddy. They will look and ride great once you get some better socks and camber kits.
