Hi to all,,
I started to replace my rear springs today, and i cant get the new ones to go in.
I have the FE1 suspension code, and i also have the spring codes of 8RW for left spring, and 9RW for the right one.
I got my springs from NAPA and they assured me they are the ones for my car, and i had them look them up at Rockauto.com just to verify it, and it says the same spring.
Can someone give me some advice as to get my car back together? I would really appreciate it.

Thanks to all.

You might have to drop the struts to get everything low enough to get the new springs in unless you use a spring compressor of some sort.

When I was replacing my rear struts I got the feeling that the springs would fall out if I wasn't carefull.

problem solved,,,

they were the wrong springs. the parts store said they were boxed wrong. so they ordered another set. they came in,, and they were the wrong hieght. they are suppose to be 13.19in and the ones i got are like 12in. so we are gonna try this one more time

Lets hope they get it right this time.

How did you have trouble getting shorter springs in??

The first ones i got were 17.5in in length,, thats why i had a hard time with them.

Ah, that's a difference.
