Question about Ground control coilovers

[amyasin]

I purchased a used set of ground control coilover for my S13. I should have noticed it when I first got it but the springs are really loose. when installed and under pressure they work fine. but say I lift the wheel or jack up the car they become loose again then " clunk" into place. If I understand it there needs some type of strap to keep the spring in place to prevent that from happening. Is someone can help me out with this i would apperciate it.

Thanks in advance

I believe those have locking pins on the perch. It's been a while. I used this set up on my prelude back then.

How are they holding up to the abuse?

[nifares240]

when you jack the car up, the assembly decompresses. seriously, you guys need those locking pins that goes with those coil sleeves. without that, there's a chance of slipping off the perches.
