i just bought a set of stock touring springs for my FD. i bought my car with an eibach pro kit and the ride is too rough for me plus it's making my front lip scrap everything. anyways, the person who sold em to me does not remember which springs went where, and cannot label them for me. however, he says that 2 are noticably taller so those should be the rears.
i was wondering if
a) i could just replace the springs and everything will be all good?

b) replace the springs and get an alignment?

c) <you tell me>

Ideally you should get an alignment since your ride height is going to change, but it's not a deal breaker.

 

i guess if it's not a big deal then i'll defer getting an alignment til i do i full tune up

thanks damon

 

Also to get the front springs out you have to detach the upper a-arm (iirc) which will mess up your alignment. be sure to mark the position of the adjusters befor removing them and the put them back in the same possition to get the alignment back close. Also while the springs/shocks are out you may consider replacing the upper shock/spring mounts.

 

Yes

No. The upper front a-arms do not have adjustors, only the bottom ones do. No need to mark the uppers when removing them.
