My boy always does work on peoples car around the neighborhood, tuneups brakes, etc. I asked him about helping me do the struts and springs and he said no prob, he had a spring compressor etc. So today we started doing the fronts, when he went to compress the springs i noticed that tein was written upside down, so i said i think it goes the other way. Long story short he put it on with tein upside down and the passengers side he put it on with tein reading right side up. Do you guys think this is a problem or is it fine, he expressed to me that everything was alright and that the springs are the same thickness on both sides.


P.S. The drop looks sick Illuminas with stechs couldnt be happier pics later on tonight, i just hope it doesnt fall off now

anrt they different shape on either side..

 

Yeah the struts are different but springs were the same, or at least i thought they were, i was really hoping someone with s-techs would know, i didnt shave the bumpstop either i know im going to regret it, and prob end up having to in the end, but i just wanted to get these on before i go on a 600 mile roadtrip.

If they are progressive the springwind will get tighter on one end. Make sure that both sides match with the tighter portion on the top.

 

Change it back....You need them the same way....

Mine are all the same way and no noises are coming from the suspension.

 

im thinking about taking it to strauss because i dont even want to mess with this guy again, he really was annoying me because he was beating on the car.

 

def. get that done soon before another problem creates... also post some pics man!! =) wanna see them. how much was the drop on the front and back?

 

he is right, you need to get the springs redone, one bad manuever and you are going to lose it, happend to a good friend of mine , he rolled his Jetta taking a gentle sweeping curve all due to somebody incorectly putting his springs in wrong. Wouldn't want to see the same thing happen to you.
