Mspeed Springs

Can anyone summorize the instructions for installing the rear springs? I think the front is simple enough, but I have NO instructions, and I like doing things myself. Thanks.

I got them in finally. Took me and my dad about three hours. The back was a little more difficult, but it went better than I thought. Not that hard after all. This forum is a godsend.

The ride was not noticable at first, but I did notice them on rough roads, bumpier, but man the handling ROCKS! 8rain.jpg

Get the shocks, you have the wrong damping... And if you want to make a bigger difference get the sway bars...

Do you think the MS springs give you an "even" looking drop?

The way the wheel well is designed in the rear, some springs give the look that it is dropped more in the rear even though it is not. I hope that made sense.

The back looks slightly lower, but the car still looks incredible. I am amazed at how many people love the car, you'd think there would be more on the road. BTW, I live in a small town (13,000) and there are two other 8's, and saw possibly another one today, 4 in one tiny Ms town.
