CookSport Springs

[PaulCS172CUP]

Hi Guys,
I've just fitted these springs but noticed on the rear if you Jack both sides up of the car the springs are capable of falling out, in fact 1 actually did.
Is this Normal? is there away of fixing them in place ? I'm using Cup Shocks.

Cheers

Have you got the rubber bungs in place on the springs?

Yes mate, All rubber Rings Fitted.

No idea then sorry.

My sportlines won't come out unless I remove the shocks and they are a similar drop to cooksports.

Knackered shocks or wrong shocks that are too long? They shouldn't fall out when jacked up.

Yep that shouldn't happen, has someone fitted non-RS shocks to the rear or something?
You should be able to hear banging and stuff if one of the shocks is broken, and see a load of oil pissing out of the shock itself.

Possibly wrong shocks fitted. My dci shocks were approx 30mm longer than genuine renault 172cup rear shocks when compared. Springs fell out with dci shocks bit not with cup however slightly loose but not mot fail.

The Shocks are fairly new, il unbolt one and have a check. i reckon they are possibly too long.

I couldn't even get 40mm springs in mine without having someone stand on the rear beam, for them to fall out on jacking there's something definitely wrong there.

My H&R coilover rear springs are very close to falling out when jacked up fully.

I think they have actually fallen out in the past...

I had eibach pro kit fitted before, if you just jack up 1 side of the car and do 1 at a time then they are more difficult to get out , in my case i jacked up both sides which in turn made them looser as the beam drops down further.

I had both sides up mate when fitting mine, was a tight as a nuns chuff! Has to get my missus to stand on the beam to fit them.

it's fine just make sure they seat correctly as you lower the car
