which springs go where

  

octave236 -> which springs go where (4/17/2006 10:03:04 AM)

A friend of mine gave me a set of neuspeed springs for a 97 v6 accord. but I dont know which springs are the front or back. havent looked at the accord to see anything obvious but I've tried searching while I'm at work and didnt find any thing that helped. Two have a small diameter and really stiff the other two have a bigger diameter with more space between each coil till the bottom or top then the ciols get really tight. hope someone can help thanks.

Most likely the ones that are a larger diameter are slightly taller if I remember correct... Those go on the front, the reason being they are a bit stiffer to handle the extra weight of the engine. If you could post part #'s someone may be able to confirm this better but I would be willing to bet that the thicker metal coils are taller and go on the front.

stand the spring up and push your weight down on it. then take the spring that looks different and do the same thing. the one that is the squishiest is the one for the rear/ the rears have less spring rate.

thanks for the insight. anymore help is appreciated. ill try to get the part # off the springs. they are a bit weathered though. been sitting in shed for a couple of years.

thats all you need. also, the spring with the most coils is for the front. the two springs look drastically different

thanks again...

yeah, the spring with the largest diameter should be rear and have less coils and the front a smaller diameter and more coils as lightshow suggested
