I will drive it and get it aligned but is it a good solution like Josh said to get the load on the suspensions before tightening everything up? How im I supposed to tight thoses bolts with the wheel in place ?

Tks for your tips kenchan Really appreciated.
yah, dont give ur hopes up yet. new springs take a little driving to set in. usually when i swap springs i drive it for about 2 weeks (few hundred miles) before going in for an alignment unless it's so off making it uncomfortable to drive. for those occasions i take my car in twice.

when u do suspension installs it is always a good idea to load the arms before you tighten the fasteners. what i do is load up the arm using a hydraulic jack under the knuckle (front)/spring carrier cup (rear), and raise it enough the suspension has preload. then tighten all fasteners to spec.

but it usually doesnt make much of a difference as far as ride height after install unless you completely botched the install somehow.

take a pict and post.
