Espelir install help needed ASAP!
Car is currently jacked up and wondering how to figure out which springs are for the front and which is for the back. There are no indications anywhere on the springs, just the name no spring rate or part numbers. Found this picture and was wondering if this is the right way:
Is this the right ways the springs should go in? Any help will be greatly appreciated!

If you're not sure, it might be easier to take the struts out and take them to a shop with a spring compressor. There are likely several hundred pounds of preload on those springs and you could be hurt badly if the proper precautions aren't taken when taking the stockers apart.
Have fun and let us know how it feels with the new bits in!

Hey nice repost of PWRMKR's car undergoing the Espelir mod. Yes those are the correct orientation. The springs are simply awesome! Find a club member with a Helm Manual and it will be a snap.

In other words, if you are careful, you dont need spring compressors
Re-install is easy as the lowering springs are shorther, so the hats go right back on w/no compression. Did mine in around 15 min. per corner

I broke the strut bolts loose while everything was still on the car, pulled them off. When I pulled the bottoms of the assebly out, top hat came off rather cleanly. The rears were tricky, but I didnt unbolt ANYTHING except the strut assembly.
