Reply to "Urgen Help: Installing Hall Springs"

joules"Racing is Life, anything before or after is just waiting" - Steve McQueen

As you say it looks like these were intended for a more traditional coilover shock body. But even Hall's Aldan shocks used short springs that were not fully compressed in the shock when the car is in the air.

Unless you are doing "Dukes of Hazard" style driving I doubt your suspension will ever be unloaded enough to allow the retainers to come out.

That said there are options;

1. Cheapest; drill small holes in the two retainer halves and safety wire them to a spring coil or to each other.
2. Get helper springs; these are small flat wire springs that are just enough to keep everything extended when the shock is unloaded and remain compressed under load.
