^^^ If you look at the pic's I think he's talking about the bottom perch where the spring sits on so you don't have a huge ring as where the stock spring is much larger to sit upon....

 

our bottom mount for the spring is on the strut. It cannot be removed, just trimmed. It is kinda cone shaped and would require alot of fabrication in order to reform it. I wouldn't trust that to anyone but the manufacturer of the springs. The only way these would go on our car is if the bottom of the spring is formed to hyundai specs.


Here's some pix from when i changed out my struts last time.






That DIY is irrelevant except for a couple of aspects and would be impossible because you cannot remove the piston from the shock.. These are McPherson struts.



has anyone sucessfully installed these?

 

^^ um yeah you can how else do you think you install koni and blisten inserts?

 

They make inserts for our sealed shocks? I've never heard of that. usually people buy the full shock.



are these springs too loose or something?

 

what i was trying to get you to do is to weld the threaded body of the coilover to your strut body. just throwing them in there is what causes the bounciness because they have nothing to keep them in place but the car's wegight.

 

^^ i thought the upper/lower strut assys kept them in place. the spring is smushed between the shock, and the upper strut assy.

 

u got it confused, your thinking the top strut mount, the perch is what the spring sits on at the bottom.

 

so what you're saying is that when they designed these springs, they made them too short?



You're saying something is wrong with them. A spring belongs COMPRESSED between the upper strut assy and the perch. It should not require modification. The springs should rest on the stock perch and strut assy.



What is the design flaw you're talking about?



And how would one go about modifying our stock perches to fit these?

 

Dude, you do NOT want these. Trust me. I'm telling you, PM ABQElantra about them. He bought these same ones, put them on, and is taking them back off ASAP.

 

I've read horror stories of these ebay springs just snapping and you end up with a VERY low rider.
