I have stock shocks with kg/mm lowering springs (not sure of specific model). I will post some pictures tonight if I have some time to jack up the car and remove the tires. What would be the proper routine way to go about adjusting the compression of each of the sides? Also a good opportunity to remove the rust of those damn stock rotors =) Anyone paint the calipers on a sebring my02? I'm curious as to what color you chose...

Okay, so i've finally come around to taking pictures of these springs and to confirm my suspicions they look terrible.

I've taken pictures of each corner and labelled them accordingly. What would cause such uneven "wear" to one side and not the other. Most specifically compare the two rears and the 'rust' inlet.

Clearly, I need new springs. Where installed incorrectly? Did they just wear out?









As an added bonus...



Suggestions for new springs are welcome.

You should keep your back straight when lifting a car.......

Make sure the spare tire tightly screwed down. It makes noise when losen.

So what do you think is wrong with the spring? Looks normal to me.

The driver and passenger side springs on the rear look very different while under no load. Notice the rusting coil on the driver side...
