About to give up (Help with Intrax lowering spring install)

[tidus10]

lowering springs are supposed to be wider and shorter thats how they lower your car...try calling the manufacture?

The only problem with returning them is that I bought them over 5 years ago. They've been sitting in a box for the last 5 years in my attic. I did try to go to the website for Intrax, but it is a foreign company and they didn't have any american customer service telephone #'s or anything. I would sell them, but i'm really not sure if they would even fit on a 2005 Aveo, which I originally bought them for. The Intrax box they came in does have a sticker on the side that says Chevrolet Aveo 2004+. I think i'll post in the midwest section of this website and see if anyone local to me wants to swing by and get a good deal on a set of lowering springs.

That's why i'm wanting someone local to me. I don't want to sell these to someone and ship them only to find out they won't fit.

I was hoping you could post something else. I checked that page, but the pictures are really small when I click on them.

Heres a sideshot

I got the H&R springs today from tirerack. Very fast shipping!! Anyways, i'm done with the rear, that was a piece of cake. The front however, is causing a bit of a problem. I have everything undone, i've just never used a spring compressor before, so i'm having a bit of trial and error with them.

not safe way

if you have the strut out, and an air compressor, set the bottom of the strut in the grass, put the impact on it, and holding only the impact, let it rip, they don't blow apart that hard. you dont even need the spring compressor to reassemble.
