I'm in the middle of putting the Stech springs on my car (literally have both front shocks out and compressed) I read the directions tein sends with their spring and it says to replace the top lock nut. Well first of all I don't have a new top lock nut and I called a few auto stores and everyone would have to order them. Is it necessary to use a new top lock nut??

Expedited answers are much appreciated

 

no just reuse what you have

 

you shouldnt need to compress the teins when putting the top hat abck on either, just have a friend push down on the top hat spring combo and install the nut. it will save you a lot of time.

 

lowering springs dont' need compressed lol and i used my old lock nuts.
