Reinsalling stock suspension on S14????? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

well i am sellin my coilovers and trying to reinstall my stock suspension. My problem is, even with the spring compressors on there i cannot compress the front shock/spring enough to make it fit. It is like 2-3 inches too long. Am i missing something here?? Do i need to unbolt anything in particular to do this job? the Tiens are so much shorter because of the height they are at that i dont even need compressors to install them, they fit right in. I need some help here, what am i doing wrong??
