For those of you who installed your own springs:

I just completed the installation of the front springs and started on the the rear.

I switched out the spring on the rear strut and positioned it back into place.

What is the next step? Do you secure the top end of the strut with the three nuts under the speaker cover? Or do you secure the bottom of the strut first?


Thanks.

I think to put top bolts on first, no need fully tight, just tight by hand first.

Thanks for the response. That makes sense. Once i get the top fitted in place with the three nuts, loosely tightened, then I can secure the bottom of the shock and tighten everything up!

Once the car is back down on the ground and now the shock/springs are weighted/compressed - go back over all your bolts/nuts and check for re-tightening if necessary.

Let us know how it rides!!
