Hey, Well I took my d2’s and loosed them up to measure the spring length and my front springs are 8 1/8 long and my backs are 7 1/8 long. I have a 6/5-spring rate. I thought the springs were going to be all the same length no matter what the rate? I was doing the preload by compressing the spring 3/4 compressed each. I hope this is right. ---

Justin I don’t know what’s wrong with yours but both my front springs and rear springs are 7" tall. Try measuring again from the top of the flat surface on the spring to the bottom flat surface of the spring. ---

This is how the spring should look under pre-load conditions. ![http://membersdb.son240sx.ca/images/membersdb/1009_d2_coilover_preload.jpg](http://membersdb.son240sx.ca/images/membersdb/1009_d2_coilover_preload.jpg) ---

I dont konw I just put the back ones in. I am now going to do the fornt ones. The back was pice of cake, the fornt is going to be harder with the pillow mounts. ---

Slamed the back still can get i finger in there hum i though it was going to be lower. If i make the spring tighter will it go lower? I konw it will make this stiffer but just wondering. ---

The brake line doesn’t have anything to do with the ABS system light. You probably did something with the sensor wire. I wouldn’t be too worried. The stock S13 ABS system is pretty crappy anyway. ---

Well I got my D2s today (damn weather though). Any comments on tire clearance or what I should do for fender rolling? Bing, what did you do to your rears? You have any tire rubbing issues? I wouldn’t want to pull another AceInHole (for those that don’t know, go search). ---
