lowering car need help

1st queston---alright i attempted 2 lower my 95 talon 2nyte removed the strut assembly..compressed the spring...but i could not get the shock absorber out of the spring...NO CLUE HOW IT COMES OUT....ive lowered civics, jettas, and a few mazdas and all of them let the shock absorber slide out with ease..of course for my car it didnt....do i need 2 buy seperate shock absorbers or is there a way 2 remove the existing shock absorbers from the factory springs to use them on my apex springs..if so,,,please tell me how..i tried for about 2 hours with no luck....

2nd question----im lowering the car on apex springs...the springs are all the same length...2 are thicker and the other 2 are thinner....does the thinner go on the rear and the thicker go on the front or vise versa....hope some1 can help me...thanks in advance!

For one, stop with that "2nyte" and "some1" bullshit. You will get no respect typing like a 5 year old. If you have done so many, you should already know what to do, theres just a bolt on top of the shock/strut thats keeping it together. Again, if you dont know which springs go where you maybe shouldn't be doing this. There should be some directions or they should be labeled. If not, only one size will fit on each shock/stut just figure it out by trial and error. You are using aftermarket shocks/struts that will be able to handle the ~1.5" drop right?

There's a bolt in the top you can take off while the spring is compressed that ahould be all you need to take off. The big springs are for the front. Also is it turbo or na if it's na it might be different.

kk for starters i did lossen the bolt on the top it still didnt slide through and if you dont like the way i spell...dont reply 2 my post...i dont tell you how 2 write....if i needed english help id go back 2 high school....

Whatever then man, just dont get pissed off when you get flamed for it later.

ya ur probally right...sorry for blowing up on you....im juss really ******* frustrated....i compressed the spring and loosened the top nut but the absorber woudlnt slide through the bottom or the top..the cars a 95 esi...not tsi...would that make it diffrent....i assumed they were all they same

Did you remove the bolt or just loosen it? You need to remove it. Have any pics?

lol....im not that stupid man...yes i removed the bolt....but it just wouldnt slide offff...its sooo hard 2 explain i wish i took pictures but i put it back together cuz i needed 2 drive the car home...i compressed the srping loosened the bolt...took off the top damper which mounts the strut assembly to the vehicle frame...and then there was this other round steel pieice that would slide through the bottm...and it obvously cant be pushed through the top b/c the bottom wont allow it 2..but the steel piece wouldnt come off...i tried everything....
