No, its the other way around.
Here is a good idea genious, go outside and look at your stock springs.
Hope your not installing those yourself lol

yeah if you cant figure that out you need to get someone to install it for you.

fewer coils = stiffer spring... stiffer spring goes where the most wieght is... most wieght is in the front... at's not that hard to do... good luck with it...

$150 to install isnt bad.

i dont know how much drop the springs u got will give u..... but if they are comparable to intrax u dont need a spring compressor to install them. but if uve never attempted this type of work befor i dont recommend doing it anyways

true that I'm not big and burly, but I'm still no girly man. lol

I just didn't have enough hands to compress the spring and tighten the bolt on top at the same time. (friend did driver side, I did passenger)

Spring compressors are cheap. Princess Auto has them for $39.99 CAD for the ones in a case. They had a cheaper set for around 20. Make sure to get an alignment after you install them.
