Default Spring Question (Different Brand)

I just put espelir super lows on my tc and I was wondering if a squeek when you say...jump in the back of the trunk listening for noises is normal and if it will just settle out eventually. Right now I also only have the rear ones in....

Rears Lowered


Front still looks like it is going to do some kind of backflip


How do you guys get those dang bolts off the front...those things are HUGE!

which bolts are you refering to? And (I don't think) your springs will not settle correctly until you have the whole suspension on the vehicle.

I kinda don't know what your talking about. You shouldn't put 2 different brand of springs (imo) because springs are to be co-exist with each other for performance and it might throw the geometry of your car off.

Are you referring to the bolts on the struts?? You can just use muscle or jump on em...but they are easier to take off with air tools.

Correct me if I am wrong....because not everyone is perfect .

Yea the strut ones haha....umm the reason I have different is because we had problems with spring compression so it took us like 5 hour to finally get exactly how to do it then it was to late to do the front...and those bolts where to strong to loosen so we gave up and I drove home haha...

We are going to put the front ones on today hopefully


Btw the squeeking stopped

You dont need air tools.... just attatch a pipe at the end of your breaker bar for those - or any - bolts (if need be) and they will give like an Adelitas playmate.... Oh yeah....

That is crazy..... you straight rode home with the front up like a monster truck huh?
