They came to my apt last week. But I don't think that they are going on for a while. Maybe a month or so.

did yours have any writing on the springs

i wonder how the installer is going to know which side is up and which side is down. oh well, i guess that's why he's getting paid. i'll have them on next week, can't wait!

I think that you can tell the top from the bottom by looking at the spring. I duno how to explain it was the way that last coil ends looks different on the end. So that's how i guess you can tell. There's no writing on them though.

AznStevie the springs are dark blue

the instructions are pretty funny, looks like something sprint drew in their spare time. as far as alignment i'm using the ingalls camber bolts too. the place i'm getting my car aligned is right across from my performance shop so i'm sure they know how to align a lowered car. i bet if i took my car to the dealer they be like "camber bolts, what huh what?"

i'll let you guys know ow it goes.

I think it is camber bolts. I went to my local shop Ultima Performance in NY and they don't carry ingalls. So I got sprint ones for $33. I think they give you directions on how to install it on there site.
