No problem. Let me try to illustrate better.

These springs are designed to be installed using the OEM damper. These springs are specifically designed for either the BRZ or the FRS damper rates.

After uninstalling the OEM damper and spring unit from the car you have to uninstall/uncompress the OEM spring which can be a dangerous job if you do not know what you're doing. Once the OEM spring is removed from OEM damper using a spring compressor then you have to reverse the steps to compress the RCE spring onto the OEM damper again.

It's a easy process if you have the right tools. It's outright dangerous if you do not.

I'm simply offering a plug n' play option if the buyer wants my dampers already preassembled with the RCE springs on them in exchange for their OEM stuff.

I'm assuming most buyers will have relatively low miles on their dampers (like I have) to where the mileage/wear won't really matter to me.

I'm not sure how to describe it any better. If anyone cares to help describe.. please do. thanks!

how much of a drop will these springs give me (Inch wise) I won't have any extra cash until about the 26th of this month..if you can wait that long I will gladly take these off your hands for a direct swap in which you have explained. (Thank you btw )

Yeah, I hate dealing with the compressors, simply because it's tedious.

Do you recall how much alignment was changed after the springs were swapped?

Driving by San Clemente AND Oceanside? Dude, are you stalking me?

Hope you guys were enjoying the fireworks and bbq yesterday!

Suppose to meet with @2point0 sometime today if schedules work out. He's got first dibs since I lugged them all the way down here lol. If it doesn't work out i'll take them back with me to LA and reply to all the PM's as well.

Lots of interest and i'll do what I can to make it most convenient for you guys.
