    Default coil spring removal query....

    hello all,

    I have a commodore VR exec series II. I'm in the process of changing my springs to king spring lows. I was just wondering quickly if i need to remove the whole strut in order to replace the front springs, or can i just compress the original coils with the strut being in place and just simply switch them over?

    thanks,
    My car audio:

    Rear speakers: pioneer coaxials connected to tuner
    Subwoofer: Alpine Type R SWR-1222D 12" 2 ohm dual voice coil 500 watts RMS powered by a response precision 2x150 watts RMS 2 channel amp bridged to 500 watts RMS @ 4 ohms

    Have you pulled the wheel off and had a look yet?

    A few threads have covered this how to already, have a search around and suss it out.

    Simply, there is no way you can change springs over without undoing the strut top.

    Unless your name is roon_VR aka criss angel lol
