OME +50mm HD Coils install Issues

Hi Guys,

I've failed twice at 2 different garages to get the front coils on the struts. The rear springs went on no issues but the front are putting up a fight. The garages had a hydraulic press and a pneumatic press both failed to compress the spring enough to get the top bolt on. Has any one else had this issue?

OME are dragging there heals and not providing any help. Big Cry Big Cry

Thanks gents,

Even the standard springs put up a fight. I use 2 sets (4 compressors) just on each of the standard springs Laughing My D3 Build Thread

Oooo makes my wince.

Really hate using spring compressors, always have done.

I'm too worried about them exploding in my face, excuse the innuendo, to use the hand screw compressors.
