all depends on the tooling and usually with a set of drop springs you dont have to recompress. the last passat i did was not problem and nor was the new GTi. No compressing necessary. ---

I wish I had pics of my old kia that I SLAMMED to the ground. It was on a cheap set of ebay coilovers I bought for $40. it rode like complete shit and going down the extension was a major headache (literally b/c my head would bounce up into the roof. lol). Im sure there are plenty of people on here that remember that damn thing. ---

No compressing necessary. Still much more complicated then removing the old strut assembly and swapping in a new assembly. ---

Am I going to need to re-use any parts of the old assembly? LOL OK no more q’s… I think.:tongue EDIT: spring compression is a give-in. I’ll just borrow a friends. I anticipated that lol. ---

I think were talking about 2 different things here… most coil over kits i’ve dont have not come as an assembly and require the removal of the front strut bearing assemlby for reinstallation on the new whatever you’re putting in. also the rear requires the swap of similar parts. Unless you have a coil over setup that compess complete with new bearings its all the same process. In that case you are abosolutely right. ---

raise it up man. looks like a cholo ride. and i will put money on it, it handles worse than stock when like that. might give you the feeling its handling because its stiff, but your roll center is out of whack, and the shock is out of its effective range. spin the front up about 8-10 threads(counting high spots, not valleys on the threads), and the back around 4 and youll be much better off ---
