springs question?

[padrickz88]

ok well the thing is my mums car got smashed earlier this year, and well her rear springs only got put in not long before it got smashed, and i was thinking since there back springs, would i be able to put them in my front? and the other thing is i want to get them compressed so there not 4wd springs. so how much would that cost? and if i get them compressed will i need shorter shockers? because i heard you need shorter shockers on the back for sure but on the front you dont need them but it recommended(because the engine is heavy)? true or is it bs?
i noticed today that she has the springs in there so was no reason to waste them true? haha anyways thanks in advance people
btw sorry for another suspension question.....

Short shocks are not required for the front of the car, but i'd reccomend it anyway. It makes a big difference but its not needed.

But no you can't fit rear springs to the front of the car.

DAMN! thanks for that anyway man, i sort of assumed i couldnt but just wanted to make sure, and how much are compressing springs? because i might be able to get some front one's? one of my mates told me its not worth it, and for the price to get them compressed i could nearly get new one's, true? or bs? thanks heaps =]

Well springs are not expensive. $100 or so for 2 front springs.

You'd only really wanna bother getting springs compressed if you had ultralows and they werent low enough for you.

i might go buy some then when i have the cash =]..... because i dont mind how low my ass end is now (comes upto the tire) but my front is truck height.. and yeah needs some screwing around with and im not one of those tossers who cut their springs so yeah, just seeing what i can do.. thanks heaps man, appreciate it

Yes don't say the C word
Check out ebay some might be very cheap on there.

Your car couldn't be any worse looking then mine was when my fronts were done and the backs were old. I couldn't wait too get my springs done all round
Back was about 2" off the guard but the front was 8" You couldn't miss the front in the air and it handles like it had the nose up too looked shet.
