Default Tein ss Question

I need to take off one of my coil overs to replace the spring seat ( the rubber thingy). Do I need to compress the spring to take the coilover off my car? Thanks

No. Just adjust the spring all the way down if your concerned about it.

If your springs are loaded when the car is lifted, than you are not riding low enough
