heckler Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 at a rough guess, compress the spring, mount the topmout on, bolt it onto the shaft (new nut), relase the spring... thats hows it done on conventional shocks... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T2 MSW Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 I did not require to take the load off the spring when I did mine, when they are off the car there is no tension in the spring. Just undid the nut and replace with the one in the kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy-No-Knee Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 Holy thread retrival Batman... Just to revive this, Richard did you end up assembling and fitting the super streets? Did you do a how to, and the bit I am really interested in, the assembling of the coilovers themselves. When you set the ride hight platform and the spring platform, then go to put the top hat on, does the spring meet the top hat and need compressing or was there a gap. There is a gap on mine and I have never heard of that before and dont want to put them on the car if it is wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
