neuspeed springs?

When I got my springs and I started to install them i realized that the spring was bigger then the stock spring mount on the top in the fronts? Now it binds a twists because it is not fully compressed, so my question is:

Is there a peice that was supposed to come with the springs to widen the top mounting location?

The springs should perfectly mount on the stock mount. Used to have neuspeeds no problems with installation.

^^ same, just like stock replacement.. pull out, put in.. you dont even need a compressor to reinstall the mount because the spring was soo much smaller in height

Do you have all the parts in this illustration? The springs should fit fine with all the factory upper mount parts in place.

Check the part number. if you have the sport springs you should have this part #55.20.62 or The Race springs are the 55.20.68. if you don't have any of these part numbers then you have the wrong ones.

If you are looking to buy springs and shocks, you should consider getting full coilover instead it might be sheaper. most shoks wont last with a drop. unless you get a set of Koni yellow specially made for the drop you want. you would have to contac Koni and let them know what your plans are. I say get full coilover.
