Help....Which springs mount in the front??

[jwrape]

Bought some used Skunk2 springs, I'm getting ready to install them and don't know which pair go on the front or rear.
Here is the pic of the different sizes

lol i think the fatter one goes on the front

[Jecht]

The shorter one is usually in the front.

[Nittanys1]

look to see if you can find a part number on them or better yet call skunk

[EmminoDaGreat]

Usually one will be a thicker coil, more weight in front of vehicle...

[RBS]

really depends on the car, what car are they for?

[seanrg1116]

right front, left rear.

but i would call the manufacturer first to be sure

Look on the springs....There should be a letter and some numbers...The springs with the letter "F" means front and the springs with the "R" means rear...I believe the short goes on the rear and the taller ones go on the front. Correct me if I am wrong. Hope this helps.

[DecoyOctopus]

yea what gsrteg said

[jdm>usdm]

Short fat ones on the rear, tall ones up front. that how my teins were, so im pretty postive that yours are the same way

Installed these on a 95' Integra GSR....
I tested fitted the shorter ones up front and t\luckily they didn't fit and the taller ones fit perfect. SO the short ones go in the rear and the taller ones go in the front.
I got them on and figured out why the car rides like a tank. The rear left strut is blow and bent. The fronts look surprisingly good. I guess I will replace the rears first.

Now I figured out why you are supposed to cut the bump stops, is there a how to that someone knows about around here or HT or TI..

[RBS]

well... you take apart the rear shock assembly, remove the spring and all the covers and little washers. pull the rubber bumpstop off and karate chop that mofo in half, then put everything back together

OH! didn't realize it was part of the shock assembly, I thought it would be attached to the frame or Control arm somewhere.
Which part is it? Cause all I saw was a couple little rubber rings that were too small to cut down, maybe sand down, but cutting would be hard unless I was looking at the wrong thing... Got a pic?

The bumpstop is on the shaft that comes out of the strut. its kind of like an orange color. Its what keep the shaft from going too far into the strut. just cut it in half and you should be good. I cut mine without taking the strut apart

Good choice of springs bro* G/L

[.blank cd]

Ive cut mine on the car before, just jacked it up. Get you a sharp razor, that'll help

[1moreaccord]

I have the same exact springs, but i got adjustable.. And I haven't yet found a reason to cut the bump stop.. just make sure you need to before you go thru the trouble.. tho it really itn't much trouble anyways..

but def. good choice skunk2 ftw!
