I am sooo pissed. Wnated to change my original Saleen springs to H&R sports. Well, the whole friggin car leans to the driver side no matter how the springs are installed cause each time you get them in their respective perches they f'n move.

So, I am going back to the Saleen specific rate. I guess my kidneys will suffer a little but at least my car won't look like a '76 nova riding down the road!!

What do you mean the springs move? The fronts are indexed between the two holes in the LCA perch and the rears have the pigtails on the back of the perch with the cut-end of the spring facing the drivers side.

Well, they are telling me the rears move once they put it down on the wheels. I am going down to the shop tomorrow to make sure the tech is doing it right!! I was on the phone with MM/H&R after i posted and they faxed me detailed instructions. the rears need to be set back all the way on the perches and you are correct on how the fronts index.

It is most likely an error on the techs part. We'll see tomorrow.

This is why I am going to put a lift in my garage. So i won't have to deal with incompetence!!

They should pretty much stay where you put them...the lean is almost impossible to get rid of though no matter what spring you use
