(Thread Starter) |   Not Ranked : 0 score  Issue installing lowering springs... Tried to install my new corksport lowering springs onto my new Koni yellows and ran into an issue. It appears that the springs are MUCH too short. The instructions say that when I swap the springs they should need to be compressed...I could put the top bolt on without the springs compressing and they would be able to move around and be super loose. These wouldn't even fit on the stock shocks so I know the shocks aren't the issue I am starting to think that the wrong springs were sent to me. Anyone else have this issue? EDIT: here is a photo of what I mean. there would be 0 zero compression needed and the spring would actually be able to move freely on the shock up and down  @CorkSport;

It's because the springs are shorter than OEM that makes it "look" like it's free floating on the struts. Once you install and drop the car on the ground, they will be compressed and wont be moving freely. But then again it could be something else.. Im bored at work and just pulling things out of my butt lol monkey.bones.007 likes this. | |

| Not Ranked : 0 score Just be careful every time you raise the car off of its wheels and make sure the front springs are properly seated as you lower it back down. Also bear in mind that if you're driving along and the front suspension goes into full droop for whatever reason, that you risk the springs becoming unseated...

| Not Ranked : 0 score Mine would turn even with the weight of the car. Probably from crap roads and bumps so the suspension wasn't fully loaded with weight. I needed up going back to stock. Broke a set of mounts and didn't want it to happen again.
