What kind of springs do I have? - 6/28/2008 10:06:13 PM    CougarRacinChic   Posts: 5 Joined: 6/28/2008 Status: offline My ex roommate switched the springs in his car, I never paid any attention to what he did, he just left them in my back room, then eventually moved out, leaving them in my house.  I have a set of smaller-diameter springs, and a set of larger diameter springs...He had a 2006 Eclipse, v6.  Could someone tell me what I have? LoL. I Can''t seem to get the picture loaded, so here''s a link to it: http://i134.photobucket.com/albums/q83/CougarChic/SpringsShocks001.jpg What I mean is I''ve only known cars to have a single set of springs.  In the picture if you couldn''t tell, I set the smaller springs inside the larger springs, is that how they''re supposed to go, or do I have 2 seperate sets? if so, how are they supposed to be paired? 2-small to 2-big, or all-small is one set, and all-big is another set? < Message edited by CougarRacinChic -- 6/28/2008 10:18:51 PM > Post #: 1
