Sprint Spring Install, Excellent Pics>>>>>LOOK!!!

Here are some pics of the Sprint Springs in the Perches of the AGX.

Now which front spring placement is correct? The coils are all really evenly spaced apart, however on the extreme ends, there is a location where the spring is closer (closes off the gap).

Please give input, this is to avoid installing upside down (me also... I'm confused)

The rear only really fits on the perch with the closer coils on the top.



This is with the coils closer on the top...???




This is with the coils closer on the bottom...???



Which way is correct???

This is the rear... As you can see, it will only really fit this way

I would say the top, on top where the coil ends, is it attached to the coil below it?

No, just closer to make it somewhat flat... I don't think any coils are attached???

Do you have experience with Sprints?

In the first pic, it seems like the top coil, where it ends is touching the coil underneath it...

I dont have any experience with Sprints, but looking at my Progress springs I can tell the coils are spaced differently on one side as opposed to the other, its a very slight difference, but its there...

The top pic of the front is right, the rear pic is correct as well.

It's the same spring, just reversed in the same strut. The coil does touch but is not attached. I think the top may be the correct also..

Anybody with Sprints???

Supalao???

I have the regular H&R's(non-sprints) and the printing goes rightside up. Although the H&R person I talked to said it didn't really matter to o much on the fronts....
