I'm currently trying to reinstall the stock suspension back on the car which has been lowered on coilovers for the past 30,000 miles. I was wondering if anyone could give me tips on how to do this for '01 2.5rs.

I tried to reinstall the rear left strut yesterday and found that i could not lower the whole brake hub assembly to match up the holes on the struts. Do i need to loosen the bolts on the trailing arms or something?? I know it's prolly something stupid and easy!!! ANY HELP, I NEED IT!!

 

i recent put my stock suspension on. what u have to do is move the brake hub towards u so u can get the bottom bolt on then u have to push teh brake back up so its perpendicular to the ground, this will take some strength. i hope this helps

 

how did you have the car lifted? was the entire back end off the ground? if the other rear wheel was still on the ground the sway bar will not allow the hub to move down as you please

 

you have to jack up the other side of the car and that will let the side you are workign on to drop enough.

 

for the stock suspension reinstall it would be best to take both sides off. if one side is too tight then it will be hard to put the longer oem setup back in.

However, reinstalling the stock units is never fun because of this.
