This is a DIY for fixing the popping noise that comes from progress springs when turning from lock to lock. Feel free to post any questions or pm makogk.
Tools needed:
Spring compressor (rent from autozone)
wrenchs and socket wrenchs

First place the car on jack stands and remove the wheel.
Next unbolt the bottom bolt from the control arm shown with arrow and remove the line shown by the second arrow.


Next unbolt the top ot the shock tower from inside of the engine bay


Now put the spring compressors on the spring and tighten it until the spring is far enough away from the top hat that it can move. Once this is done spin the top of the spring mount (top hat) 180 degrees.
Picture 1 is the improper alignment

How it should look once the top hat is spun around.










Now look down from the top and make sure that the bolts at the top of the shock tower still line up properly. Uncompress the springs and remount the control arm, brake line, and replace the top bolts on the shock tower inside the engine bay.

Re: Progress Springs Popping Fix DIY

^^^^^^will that stop against the springs hitting eachother? b/c my DIY is about the springs popping b/c of improper spring placement. not the spring hitting itself.

just cut a little bit off each end to where they line up, thats all i did, plus if you do it right you don't lose any ride quality.

If you already have the springs installed and they pop. You dont have to tear it all down again. Just take the old spring and hold it up next to the car and compare where your progress spring sits in the perch. take some spring compressors and compress the spring and rotate the spring till it sits like the stock spring. Its actually really easy.
