One 32" broken spring. 7' double door. Called 2 dif repair companies, and they both said to get two springs. So should it be two 32" or 20" springs?

I would use the spring conversion database on this website. http://ddmgaragedoors.com/springs/standard-torsion-springs.php#databaseYou will need to input the dimensions, windings, diameter etc for converting from one spring to two. They have tutorials on how to measure and how to install them.

I would get a right handed and left handed 32" if they wanted you to get 2. This will just make it more efficient on the motor rolling up. If I had any good advice I would say let a door company only to install. I about broke a finger in doing so and then weeks later one of my neighbors cut a finger off. The springs are very dangerous

32" springs. They should also be changed out as a set. Over time, the springs develope fatigue and the tension changes through the travel of the spring. Only changing one of them could cause wear on the rollers and the tracks. The changeout is easy to do, just remember to be safe and count the raps on each spring to ensure that they match. Have a great day.

Call Seizmik to verify the part number. I ordered these doors for my mid size 500 and they sent me the full size doors even though amazons site listed them as fitting the mid size. The part number Is 1 # off for the mid size and full size doors. Other than that great product!

Mine said 20" on the description and that's what I got. I guess if it says 26" its gonna be a 26 "

It says it fits doors up to 34 inches... I just went to measure my door, and to my surprise, I found it was only 32 1/2...I would say, If you want to give it go, you could get it, try it, if it didn't work, give it to a friend or family member??

Yes. You will need two sets. We have 2 30" doors and used two sets. If you email the mfr as I did, they will help you work out the details.

We would recommend you to use the Door with 6" Side Fixed Panel.SHDR-20307210 (Fits opening 30-31). Using 30" Door We think too much loading on 2 hinges and you have no exact level of the Walls as well. If any other questions, please contact us. Thank you .Consider above model for more

I had originally bought these not realizing their were different sizes. I think you may be talking about the same issue we had. Not sure what your doors look like, but I would look at http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00B5EFFQE/ref=redir_mdp_mobile?psc=1&redirect;=true&ref;_=oh_details_o01_s00_i00 We needed the 3/8 in. inset. Hope this helps cause I had to return the first ones for only a partial credit.

To be clear that is incorrect. I currently have 2 inches of lift on the front of my rig, I can provide tape measurements to prove it with stock coil springs and no spacers. Phase 2 of my lift to get to 3 inches, I will use a top plate spacer, which is entirely different and does not affect spring loads. When I add a heavier bumper, I will put heavier rated spring adding 1.5", and will lower my bils to the 1 inch and get my lift from the top plate, bils, and springs. So long story short THESE ABSOLUTELY PROVIDE LIFT ON THEIR OWN, just potentially not as much if your coil springs are worn out.

It all sort of depends upon the length of the spring bars. You need to mount the brackets in a position that allows the chains to attach perpindicular to the 'A' frame--the chains need to be going straight up and down and not at an angle. IIRC it was between 20" and 24".

If the springs are broken, 4" seems a bit of a stretch (at least an inch greater than the minimum dimension). But if the springs aren't -- the base should fit fine as a "regular" cup (2-1/2 inches at base).

Mine are on 32", but unless you have *really* wide shoulders, 24" should be fine. If you think about it, you basically want them to be shoulder width apart

Just the 4 springs. You use all the other factory pieces. Im thinking I saw that they fit all years. Mine is an rspec as well and that shouldn't make a difference.

Hi Catherine, apparently there is only one size available at this time: 28-33. I also have a 32" door opening and purchased 28-33 model, which works PERFECTLY fine. Hope this was helpful. Cheers!

One box will cover a single steel car 9 foot wide door double/single door requires two. its easy to install no drilling et just stick and push. As for the additional weight nothing to noticeable and you don't have to adjust your springs. Hope this was of help and read the instructions through... "Good Luck"

A repair kit will probably fix you. I have done a couple. They are worth the money. Most import is to stretch the springs that ship. Stretch before you install. They may not provide enough resistance out of the box. I failed an inspection and was told by the water company to stretch the springs.

I don't know the "original" length of the spring, for it's installed now. However.... I think I know the problem you are having. My installation process was as follows: Installed the front of the spring first, then put the "U" clamps on ( lose fit.. double check the line-up on the hole & pin under the plate) then install the end of the spring in back. The last step is a challenge to say the least. Ended up using pinch (crow) bars with the help of a neighbor. Overall... very pleased with the quality of the product, but it was a bitch to install !!! Stick with it, and good luck. I don't know the "original" length of the spring, for it's installed now. However.... I think I know the problem you are having.

When I ordered first the time only one spring arrived. Then i ordered a pair for a friend and he got 4 springs. Seems to be hit and miss. The funny thing is, on the Moog website for the part number calls out for a "pair". I would order Qty 2 and see what happens....
