H&R Progressive Spring

[DimDimer]

got myself this h&r spring. but i dunno which side should be facing up and which should be facing down.

the closer coils section on the top or below?

 

[lonewolf]

the coils which is close should be on top..

 

[DimDimer]

ohhh kay, mind explaning why is it should be installed this way?

the closer part is stiffer than the other part rite?

what's the effect if it's 'terbalik' ??

 

[lonewolf]

no idea... :P

 

[DimDimer]

aiyak.......

The part with the coils packed closer is soft. Coils further apart is hard. I don't think it makes any difference which way you install it, but from what i've seen most of the time the closer coils at the bottom. Hope this helps.

huh......okay....2 conflicting opinions...

how much did u buy the springs ? and for wat car ? do u happen to know the price for honda accord sv4 ? and where did u buy it ? thanx

the coils that is nearer is harder... coz when the spring is compressed, the distance of coils at the closer end would touch each other earlier, thus making the ride more stiff.... thats theory part la, but not sure which one face upwards... hehe..

taiko..i m using H&r also...btw for the rear wan..the closer section faces up..n the coil wit wider space faces downwards..so as wat others said...based on the wordings also correct =P
just my opinion...mine is like that la for the rear...but no regrets gettting H&r

ahhaa, okie, lemme explain abit from my experiance, wether the closer part is up or down, it all depends on your absorbers, the futher away should be placed at where the springs touch the metal plate(bottom for mine, but i guess it bottom for most cars also) as there is a lock there to prevent the springs from spinning round and round and round... :D

as the top part, should try to get the closer together ones as they are positioned almost flat, meaning it would rest on the bushes nicely without one side senget or tilted(if you get what i mean) so when you screw the absorbers mounting and the base, the springs will settle in nicely, if not, you might either spoil your rubber bushing or worst, when driving, your springs might fall out of the base :D

my two cents larr :D

 

[WBW7827]

emm...i think it depend on structure of damper itself..i mean the flat steel mount and the rubber bushes...ayyaa...
not easy describe on PC...must get 1 shock absorber and elaborate...

p/s: the best thing is ask mechanic. anyone got motorbike??
anything from kapchai model...do look at their rear shock absorber...SEE CAREFULLY THAT THE CLOSER PART IS DOWN.. BECAUSE THE PROGRESSIVE MOVEMENT OF SPRING..
comment appreciated

i see i see..sorry...me newbie...btw so means the parts that compressed fully when u install it should be at the bottom right?
