The Low Down – Installing an H & R suspension for Improved Handling and Looks » MCP-0901-low-5

Here are the old factory springs vs. the new H & R spring with adjustable seat. This is why cutting springs to adjust the ride height of modern cars is not suggested; note the progressive spring design.

The factory springs are removed in this manner. In our case, a pry bar was used to help compress them slightly for removal. The lower rubber spring seat is also removed.
The new H & R adjustable seat base connects to the original spring perch with setscrews that are turned in at the base. Then the new springs are installed and adjusted for ride height. In our case, we used the highest ride height as a starting point for further adjustability.
