T1r springs or any lowering springs install question
Don't mean to alarm anyone, but I wanted to double check something. On lowering springs, the ones I am running (T1R).. are the rear springs the more narrow spiraled ones or the "fatter" ones? I've taken a look at pics, and I believe the rears are the more narrow ones but it's hard to tell on a few pics, I know all springs are different, but wanted to get an idea.
the "fat" ones I am referring to are the ones lying down. Front or rear?
And these:
look "fat" but are in the rear..
The reason I ask is b/c I think I may have installed backwards! lol
finally here's a set of my springs, just one side.. wanted to double check if they were rears.. I called A&J and they said they're rears, but I wanted to make sure!!
thanks

hmm nothing on the springs that say front or rear that I can distinguish. See that's why I'm a bit concerned. A&J confirmed to me the bottom pic IS rear and that the fronts are the fatter ones.. hmm

Pretty sure there's not much alignment change in the rear, but I'm wondering how the front gets affected, yeah... like should I buy springs and camber bolts at the same time, or no?
I got my alignment done after the camber bolt was installed. Didn't do it just with the springs, without the bolts just to see the difference. The drop doesn't affect front camber much, not like the civic/integra.
IMHO u should get camber bolts installed w/ the springs. Unless u wanna see the difference and pay to do alignment twice.
I do my own alignments ... but I was just wondering how much money I had to tell the wife I was going to spend for the parts to lower my car.
I know on my civic I probably spent $1000 total for the springs, shocks and front and rear adjustable upper control arms. Figured with McPherson strut suspension and solid axle rear end, I'd get out a good bit cheaper this time.
