Default Spring Install

I'm installing springs today. I got the assembly apart in
front of me and I'm about to put the new springs on.

Which way is up? should the tight wind part of the
coil be on top?

Please help, I don't want to have to do this again...

maybe a silly question, but do you have spring compressors?

Yeah, what reno said, you absolutely need spring compressors, and i hope you know what you're doing. Just be careful. With progressive springs, the more tightly would part that gets smaller goes on the bottom.

Yeah... I used a compressor.

My prokits on my teg were labled, but these sus tec's were not.

I put tight coil on top, that's how they are on my teg.

Drop looks fine. Thanks...

And no I didn't know what I was doing, it was my first time...it's not that hard though... took a while.
