Since I haven't installed them before...do they need to be compressed? It doesn't look like it and it has been a while since I saw some info about this. Thanks.

If they're anything like my Eibachs, the fronts need to be compressed, but the rears don't. All 4 stock springs DO need to be compressed to come off the car safely.- Justin<br />91 Sentra SE-R, "The Millenium Falcon"<br />91 Miata, "The Otter"<br />ex 95 SC2 (Locutus), 96 SL2 (Silverstreak), 96 SL2 (Apollo), 94 SW2 (Ninja Wagon)Comment

Now that is funny, my set of Eibach Pro-Kit springs needed no clamps on any of them lol.Originally posted by Apollo96SL21993 SW2 - Slow and Low

you need spring compressors to get the stock springs off. And like others said, you need to compressor the front(unless you're a fat ass) but the rears should be short enough to not need a compressor.Comment

Hmm...just reading their (H&R) teck articles. Do our cars come with bump stops? I don't remember seeing them when I put the shiat coilovers on for the track. Their site says to cut 3/4" off the front and 1/2" on the back. Thx.[quote author="shortbus"]Stage 2 is great.

yea, unless you took them off already, then yes they do have bump stops. Its under the dust cover sleeve dealy.Comment

Yep, sure did now that I think about it. Could someone please measure the length of the bumpstop (front and rear) for me if they have them sitting around? I have some spares off other cars(non-saturns) that will work, but need to know length. Thx.[quote author="shortbus"]Stage 2 is great.

For future reference:
H&R race springs need to have the fronts compressed while the backs just slide on.[quote author="shortbus"]Stage 2 is great.

It was. We looked at it and couldn't get enough clearance for the top nut to be tightened. I don't know anything about stage III's etc. This is for the s-series and I didn't see anything in the documentation that came with the springs about there being different stages.[quote author="shortbus"]Stage 2 is great.
