: Rear Springs Installed upside-down? -with pic- Burnout71 Nov 22nd, 07, 9:49 AM I put my rear suspension together last week, and now I'm second guessing if I installed my new Eibach coils the right way - tighter coils at the top? Any ideas? I'd call Eibach but its the holiday.... http://mysite.verizon.net/restip7l/sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderpictures/spring.jpg Wheels68 Nov 22nd, 07, 11:18 AM That is the way I've always done it. I don't think the spring cares but it looks better with the coils at the top. Derek69SS Nov 22nd, 07, 11:26 AM Doesn't matter. The spring compresses at the same rate no matter how it's mounted.

You'll never know the difference. ;) Burnout71 Nov 22nd, 07, 11:35 AM That makes a lot sense. I unfortunately cheated my way through high school physics classes..... (looking at and off the girl next to me) Thanks for the quick responses. :) davoaz Nov 22nd, 07, 2:47 PM I just bought new springs for my rear end and the directions said tight coils to the top.

Original springs did not have the "tight" coils, so mounting them opposite would be obvious that they are not original. Burnout71 Nov 22nd, 07, 6:56 PM Thanks again! I mistook my directions for rolling papers. :) celott Nov 22nd, 07, 7:31 PM I bought a set of these springs for mine. I think the directions state that they are to be installed with the Eibach marking facing so it can be read. This is correct for both front and rear. celott Nov 22nd, 07, 7:39 PM I just verified this on their website under FAQ. It states "The springs have to be installed that side up that you can read the printing". Hope this helps. furball8994 Nov 22nd, 07, 7:45 PM I bought a set of these springs for mine.

They want anyone that looks at your springs to be able to read there name. | ||
