mantadoc Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 Does not tend to be a problem with stiffer aftermarket springs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pat Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 (edited) you could use masking tape and remove after , but Phil is correct ,aftermarket uprated or lowered springs are usually an easy fit Edited May 1, 2011 by pat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rayman Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 Just done mine after painting crossmember with minus 40s and managed to get them in with the aid of a large ratchet strap with a hook on one end which i put onto bottom wishbone near ball joint and pulled it up to get shock in to hold it all together Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mantaboy89 Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 I depot the cav by about 50mm and the best way I found was to drop the bottom wishbone completely. Bit potchy but easier in the long run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
