Today I undertook the instalation of maxspeed springs on the front. The front install took me ~5 hours by myself, which could've been shortened by about 1 hour if I didn't have a very stubborn bolt. The install is very accesible to anyone with patience, a good set of tools, and just a bit of know how. Research is encouraged, since I found all the info, and tips I needed right here on the org.

Back to the install, when I was done, it scared the crap out of me, when I looked at the car, and the right side was a full half inch lower then the left. I took a spin around the neighborhood, and it settled. Right now I have a 4 finger gap left in my fenders. And the front is about 3/4" lower then the rear, with a system in the trunk. I hope when I put my rear springs on, the rear will not sag. I took before pics, and I will take after pics in a week, and I will post them. So far the ride is great, almost the same as stock. I havent had a chance for any high speed turns yet.
Should I expect the springs to settle more, and give me a slightly lower drop?

 

did you have your own spring compressor .. the tool needed to fit the spring on the shock

 

I had a tough time finding one for rent, so I bought one for ~$25, but then I called Discount Auto Parts, and rented one for $40 deposit. I will return the one I bought.

 

I have the MaxSpeed springs on my car. I had them installed about 2 months ago. The back is slightly higher than the front, but when you pile a couple of people in the back it looks dead even. The ride is good except on bad roads, then you can feel them being stiffer than stock. I like mine and have recommended them to other org members that asked, for the money you can't beat 'em. BTW, I left the stock struts in.

 

I like you pic, the drop looks good. I hope mine comeout at least even, since I have a permanent weight in my trunk. I am going with stock shocks too, but when I can afford some AGX's I'll probably cut the front springs.

 

4 finger gap????? thats what i have stock

 

Maybee you got fat fingers

 

My 4 finger gap is only 2.75"

man, Asians get no love

 

SuDZ

 

My gap is one hand

 

This is a pretty old thread.

Give it a couple of weeks to settle.

 

is it hard to install springs? because i have Progress springs i ordered for 3 weeks now and never had to install them professionally. The shop charge me $150 to install the springs. Can anyone show me how to install them? I heard my friends told me that you need a spring compressor? I really wanna lower my car.

It's a fairly straight-forward and simple procedure.

 

Thanx for the help.
