No, its the other way around.
Here is a good idea genious, go outside and look at your stock springs.
Hope your not installing those yourself lol

fewer coils = stiffer spring... stiffer spring goes where the most wieght is... most wieght is in the front... at's not that hard to do... good luck with it...

$150 to install isnt bad.
i dont know how much drop the springs u got will give u..... but if they are comparable to intrax u dont need a spring compressor to install them. but if uve never attempted this type of work befor i dont recommend doing it anyways

true that I'm not big and burly, but I'm still no girly man. lol
I just didn't have enough hands to compress the spring and tighten the bolt on top at the same time. (friend did driver side, I did passenger)

Spring compressors are cheap. Princess Auto has them for $39.99 CAD for the ones in a case. They had a cheaper set for around 20. Make sure to get an alignment after you install them.
