Quick question... my mechanic is putting in my prokit for me and he is having trouble with the front springs. when he turns the wheels, the front springs are shifting and they are not set on the struts. i have stock struts and all i modified was the springs. do i need to buy anything else?

I think you're supposed to index the springs just away from the little bump.

Still, I would think (especially with stock struts) that the car's weight would hold the springs in place. You check the Pro-Kit part numbers to be sure?

I had the same problem with mine when I put them in. I had to pull everything apart and seat them properly. I was a bit of a pain to do but the problem went away when seated. I still get squeeks out of them once in a while.

Thanks for the info. My mechanic is a perfectionist so he won't tolerate the springs moving around. hes going to rebuild the entire front struts and if it doesn't work im going to buy different springs. does the same thing happen with the sportlines?

Negative

I had zero problems with the sportlines two weeks ago.
