I wish you’d show how to cut the bump stops and location in the video, can this be done after installing or while everything is installed or do they need to come out, for lowering spring installs?

Thanks for putting this together, well explained!

This awesome i did the rear install and had a shop do the front for me. I attempted but just decided to have someone do it first.

You definitely need to cut them, I just installed my spoon springs and we didn’t cut them like the instruction say too and I’m bottoming out on any bumps, you want to take off 15mm from the front and rear.

How much force did you have to apply with the ball joint separating tool? I torqued mine down way past the point where all other ball joints broke free and it wouldn't pop free. I pretty much did as much as you did but also released the tie rod to get more movement of the knuckle assembly. Guess I'll pick up a beefier separating tool and try again. Also, did you remove locating bolt in the upper strut hat to allow movement for camber adjustment?

john bauer use a generous amount of force :). You will hear a very loud popping noise once it comes out.

No need to release the tie rod.

john bauer I didn't remove the locating bolt on this particular Type R.

Do you need a press to get the ball joint back in?

You don't need to use a press but it will make it easier.

What size of disposable nut do I need for the ballpoint? I’m trying to buy one online and currently on the project.

Kai Qian I will do a complete diy write up soon with pictures or a video once I do another spring installation on a Type R!

I’ve lowered my R w/Tein springs. Put Swift on 1st,but after installation,I was getting a knocking noise on the right side. Changed to Tein,& I’m still getting the noise. It doesn’t knock the whole time,but certain bumps I’ll hear it. Everything is tight,& done right. Any suggestions on what it could be?

Did you cut 15mm off of your front and rear bump stops if not that’s what it is?

@@threadoflife. Yeah. Cut the bump stops. It ended up being the sway bar end link. We didn’t loosen the lower nut, it came loose from when we took the top nut off.
