Swapping to Coilovers

labbu63 · 05-01-2018, 05:27 AM

I'm planning on swapping my msport suspension to ST coils later this week and wanted to avoid using a spring compressor by buying new top mounts for the front. Does anybody know what else I need with them? Washers nuts or anything?

Thanks guys. Ended up reaching out to ECS and they said what I'm looking for was the coil/club install kit.

that's the one I bought alongside my coilover kit, in the ECS page that kit has my review in the bottom, there are some part that are not really needed, but it's a good way to refresh everything.

lowering springs don't usually require the need for spring compressors since the coil is shorter than the stock ones

just fyi...you can rent spring compressors for free at autozone...etc. its just a $50 deposit and they give it back to you when you return the tool
