coil spring question
I have a 2003 SSEi. With 125k on the clock I am finally ready to change the front struts (for the first time). My question is.....would this be a good time to change the coil springs too while I am at it? They are probably a little lazy by now. I'm trying to restore the "new car ride". Comments?

Re: coil spring question
Unless the springs have cracks or appear to be sagging, etc they should be fine. I would definitely replace everything else, mounts, bushings, etc.

From PM:
I have no idea what else you should/need to replace. Also, did you say you put in SSEi hubs? That was not necessary, they are the same as your SE...
Please make a post, don't PM me. I'm not the almighty, and lots of others can give input.xrob wrote:Subject: coil spring question
