i recently purchased some neuspeed springs for my rear drop.
the rear has been horrible for me.
as many know i posted on how to get the rear struts out.
now that i did i put the rear neuspeed springs on and there hella loose i mean i can wiggle the whole spring.
i thought it was supposed to fit tight.
wat should i do? is it supposed to be loose? will the wirght of the car just squish it down? are the springs worn out?
im putting these on my 4 door accord 2.3L and definately got them for 4cl.
please help

What Lemmie? He's assembling them himself. Do the springs have "dead" coils? Ones that are spread far apart at the top? Those are to provide pressure when the suspension is completely uncompressed so there's no clanking. On my springs I can assmelbe the rears without a compressor and just compress the spring far enough by hand.
