im in vallejo california any cheap shops

 

i'm not sure, but it's possible. i'll have to take a look tomorrow.
yes, but i don't remember exactly what. the included instructions should tell you want you need to reuse, and in what order.
no idea, i'm on the other side of the country.

 

yep, looks like you have your spring perch on upside down. unless, of course, i installed mine incorrectly, which i don't think i did.

 

ok we got the fronts on correctly, now all we have left is to replace the rear shocks, is it going to be easier guys, i heard bad stuff about the lca bolt, do i need a compressor i have neuspeed race springs, just replacing the shocks with koni yellows sp3's, please help guys

 

here is the new rear shocks
do i really need that dust boot, it will rattle if i put it on

 

no you do not need a spring compressor. i suggest you make those dust boots fit. they are there for a reason.

 

My Helms manual sure does think you need a spring compressor.

yes you do, unless you want to risk losing an eye or something. :ugh: and yes, please utilize the dust boots. as will said, they're there for a reason (to keep the shock from being damaged).

 

i got koni yellows on 4 door gsr with neuspeed race springs, how did you guys adjust rear 6:03 PM 4/1/2004 Reply Edit

hey guys is it better for me to adjust to full stiff then full soft, i dont care about comfortability, is it better to be a t full stiff so that the springs dont hit the bumpstop a lot

 

No.. full stiff, means you are justing the rebound..

Rebound is the resistance to the shock "Rebounding" or expanding back out, to accomodate for bumps. Therefore on full rebound the shock rebounds slower.. For street use, you want it to rebound faster to accomodate for bumps etc.

soo, you would want it on full soft.

If you autox etc. you would want to set the rears to full stiff (rebound) and the fronts to most likely 1/2 stiff (rebound.) But, that takes some testing etc.
