i did cut them i going in the garage and going to start all over thanks for the reply TImmy

 

you have to get the coils to sit in the seats properly. Meaning you put the end of the coil at the lowest point in the seat. Then put the hat on in teh same fashion. You will have dead coils on lowereing springs, meaning that some of the coils will sit on each otherwhen the car is on the ground. Thats how the spring lowers the car, and keeps tension in the seats.

 

thanks carfanatic i am taking them apart to chack the bump stops

 

I believe when I had the tanabes I cut the bump stops in half.

 

i found on evomoto website about spring install they say line the hole in the top to hole in the bottom but which hole there is 3 holes on the top to position the spring and strut iam so lost now tired

 

if anyone is in the area if you not mine stopping by to see what im doing wrong i would really appreciate it i will do all the work so you dont get dirtyThans again Timmy

 

On the top hat, there looks like a cross. The longest arm like the up and down part of the cross, that hole should line up with the hole on the bottom spring perch.

 

thanks again it will have to wait til tomorrow now got to help my kids with their homework thanks Timmy

 

Don't forget about the flat side on the front struts cap. This is where the nut on top of the spring perch goes. You have to make sure to line up the flat sides. Like everyone else said...make sure the end of the spring fits against the detent in the strut bottom and the rubber bushing up top.

 

Standard or not, I probably will ask not to get it. I have no real use for it, other than to break driveline parts upon launching. All I really want is the boost cut removed.

 

tim, let me know if you get it figured out. If not I ight be able to come lend a hand tomarrow evening.

 

Black Evo with Buschur stickers on the rear windows, plate said "8BOOST". Was about 7:30 tonight at rt 42 and Pleasant Valley in Florence. Anyone on the list here? I was in the white Talon with my kids. Real clean car whoever it belongs to. Kinda glad I wasn't in my Evo - it's filthy.

 

carfanatic i got it worked out i had the strut top off center thanks again Timmy

 

Hey that is my evo...gotta love the generation one. I noticed you sitting there. Your kids seemed to like the car . Wanna get together some time?

 

Yeah, I told my oldest to ask if you were on evom, and he got shy all of a sudden. I think they would rather drive around in the Evo than just about anything else. Right after I got it they were telling everyone from grocery store clerks to bank tellers that "my dad has an evo!". The looks they got were priceless... We should have a get together soon since the weather is getting better. I know Eli needs his clutch bled and adjusted, Carter has been bitten by the mod bug (again!), and I've got a whole list of things I need to get done before I go to Mid Ohio next month, so maybe we can get a wrenching day together soon.

What all do you have done to your car, it sounded pretty good.
