i just bought h&r lowering springs for my 8 and before i get them put on i have a few questions. one thing that i noticed was that my rear is slightly lowered then the front, if i put the springs on will it fix this so they are even or will it exaggerate this. if this is the case, is it ok just to install the springs on the front end so that the rear stays the same? second question is that ive been reading a bit on the forums and i've heard of people saying that i should preload the springs before installing them, i want to know how to go about this. thank you

 

front springs lower the car more than the rears. so it should be level. there are a ton of threads on preloading. where in ny are you

 

Long Island

 

well if you were closer i would give you a hand with the install. maby someone by you could help out

 

I'm no expert, but I wouldn't run the lowered in front and leave the back, put them all in preload is basically where you don't tighten the control arm bolts down while you have no weight on springs. There are few Simone ways to do it.
1) put a floor Jack under the rotor area and Jack it up to compress spring or enough to apply a decent amount of pressure, then tighten control arm bolts. Or install springs put it back on the ground and tighten the bolts. But there is.more info when you find "preload springs"

 

Thank you both for answering my questions much appreciated
