Default People with Hotchkis springs....

Did you use the stock rear spring isolators or just wrap some 5/8 heater hose around the top coil?

Thanks!

You need to use the top isolators if you don't the car will set too low in the rear. Also make sure that you put them in the same way that they came out at the top it will help the spring set where it is suppose to.Put a mark on the isolator and the cup that it sits in.

No problem. Just a tip. Whatever you do, do not use the spring compressor that you rent from Autozone, etc... It'll be a nightmare!!

Good luck, you'll love those springs.
