And When To Have A Look At The Rears And Found This :/

Its All Done Now But Im Not Sure On How long Its Was Like That LOL


I Had A Look On The Bottom Mounts I Know There Bigger But Whats The Best Way Of Making Them Fit?

 

[h701micra]

Have you now reinforced that rear top mount?

I made the axle fit the coilover.. better option in my opinion

And Is Capitalising Every Word A Habit?

You can either buy shorter springs (recommended) or remove helper springs

Was Think About Remove Helper Springs But Iv Heard That Its Dangerous Tho Is It?

Helper springs keep the main springs captive whilst extending.
If you put them under preload they will extend further assistance n extension.

But the ridiculously stiff springs that come with coilovers when preloaded enough would make the car ride like it had solid bars instead of springs

Like I say... the only proper way is to buy shorter correctly rated springs

So you wouldn't do it?

and where can i get shorter springs? that fit my coilovers?

 

[h701micra]

Nope not really.

You can get em on ebay if you wish.
I'd guess yours are 2.5" springs. But be measure the internal diameter
Go for 200lb/in rates too
