Spring install fail

Gurjinder13 · 02-17-2021, 05:59 PM

Hey guys I recently purchased some H&R springs for my 370z and the fronts went in fine but the rear was questionable. One side of the rear springs has a much larger diameter then the other as shown in the pictures. So I decided to put the smaller side up and now the spring does not seat properly with top rubber hat.... Either I put it in backwards or I have to adjust the tophat like someone on here mentioned...

LMAO what? one side is a different diameter than the other?

You need to contact your retailer, there's no way thats right

better yet

return that ****, save up and get coilovers and do it right

springs alone is dumb anyways
