Most detailed spring installation video for the Type R. Props for providing the torque specs for every single bolts and nuts.

does it matter? i mean as long as its tight it should work no? What is the point of having the bolts torqued to the correct specs? (car noob here)

@@Tomoi811 the only torque that really matters is your lug nuts because you don't want a wheel falling off, but even those are hard to under-torque. The struts are around 30-40 lbft and that's easily reached by using a ratchet and getting it snug. So yeah, as long as something is tight you're good to go

Watched every second of this quality video and then clicked on the channel to start binge watching any other type r videos. My heart sank to see this was the only 1 and the most recent video posted.

Did mines a month ago, almost died and you made look so easy! Amazing vid!

they skip the whole process remove the shock lol, probably real mechanic probably did the job for this guys, they just film the easy part. the correct way is remove the hub!

You made it look not as bad as everyone makes it out to be in forums! The most detailed video out there! Thank you! Might actually cop some swift springs now!

Thats how a video is supposed to be made ! Excellent Work !

This is so incredibly thorough. Top marks

How do you guys only have that many followers? That was incredibly detailed!

i install the Eibachs today 😍, thanks for the how to 😎👍

i think i will attempt to install the springs on my type r now. thanks!

Dude, make more videos! your content is great!

You deserve a like buddy u killed this video!! Thx

My friend installed my Swift lowering springs today…it was very quick to do the whole job… he also installed the AWE touring exhaust and that was a real breeze!

Great freaking video man!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

you make it look so easy 😩

good video ,quick question do you have to cut the bump stop qith any springs

How do you guys torque the strut nut as well as the sway bar end links ?

Perfect

So you mean those rear stock springs arent fully compressed when in the air and when that bolt is removed from the control arm its not gonna shoot out and go through your chest?

I got an FK8 spring by accident, will it fit FK7?

Can you install these springs with oem wheels?

Where ur shop located

What's the time to install? Great video btw!

Do you have to trim bump stock? Or is that optional

@modinfinite8671

We recommend trimming the bump stop. Leaving the bump stop at its OEM length could result in an overly harsh ride.

Did you have install aftermarket shocks as well?

was this a 20mm drop and any clunking after driving etc?

Any issues with the axle when removing the front? I’m concerned with the front axle bearing popping out.

@modinfinite8671

We recommend keeping a jack under the front control arm. This will prevent the control arm from drooping down to low and pulling the axle out.

idiotic video

You should do every upgrade on the FK8 so I'll have step by step instructions for mine lol..

Video is on point except left front. Does not go back together as easy as the right. The half shaft keeps popping out as you try to get the strut back in. I used a jackstand but then you don't have enough leverage to get the strut back in. I ended up tearing the seal on the diff on a car with 170 miles on it. Hats off the anyone who can follow this video and not have issues on the left front. I am a mechanic by trade and it still kicked my ass. I've never had issues on a Honda/Acura suspension. Thank you for the video and torque specs.

Sorry . Did your alignment come into spec? They also make ball joints to compensate lowered cars. Spoon and race-hard.

Owned my R for only a day and ordering parts already.. lol

I lowered mine& I’m getting a knocking noise when rolling over bumps. Double/triple checked all bolts,& everything is tight. Any suggestions why my R is knocking?

@@Jr-ef9ny. Check your sway bar nuts. I loosened the top nut that was connected to the strut. By doing that it loosened the bottom nut enough to let the strut have play w/new springs to knock against my strut tower. Once I tighten those bottom ones,knocking went away. Didn’t think to recheck that lower nut,cause we didn’t completely take the sway bar off. Just the top to disconnect it from the strut.

What about the shocks ? I thought when you lowered a car you needed to change those out ?

@MrJjburgess11

Only a 1 inch drop. The oem shocks can handle that fine. It's usually if you go more than 1¼ . Then it's bad for your stock shocks

I could not get the strut to slide out 😑

He’s says not to take off the three lower control arm bolts!! I just did mine and took this advice and my axle popped out the transmission. FOLLOW SPOONS GUIDE!!! Take the lower control arm bolts out. I did this for the other side. Made taking the strut out easier and the axle didn’t come out.

You know with swift springs you don’t have to cut the bump stop.

Won’t the lowering springs throw off the different suspension presets of the different modes?

Most time consuming and so many steps just to replace springs.
