Rear spring install tip
FWIW...
I found a tip that makes the rear springs a piece of cake to install.
Don't know about anyone else, but I previously had trouble
with the lower rubber mount squirming arround when installing.
This time I put a couple of wraps of electrical tape arround the spring & rubber mount (pic 1).....
worked great, & held it in place when jacking the spring into place.
Also...
for those not familiar with some of the different springs, pic 2 shows some SEDAN springs
Right to left; sedan sport, 350Z OEM, Eibach Pro.
Shows the difference between Eibachs progressives & OEM linear springs.
Eibachs have 2 different coil spacings.
