spring install

I am installing new shocks and springs right now,

I had a quick question, when putting the new spring (neuspeed race) onto the new shock (kyb agx) do you have to compress the spring because the spring fits onto the shock with the top mount and the rest of the hardware with no problems.

PLEASE LET ME KNOW ASAP
Thanks

That doesnt sound right. I thought you always had to compress the springs. Post pics and maybe someone can help you out.

The springs dont need to be compressed because they are shorter than the stock ones. The stock ones have to be compressed because they extend a lot further than the shorter Neuspeed race springs.
