Have a set of Eibach Pro's and MM urethane isolators that I'll fit in the next couple of weeks.
However it's not clear to me which way up the springs go and which isolators go at the top and the bottom. Suppose I'll find out when I replace them by inspecting the OEM parts but wanted to check here first.
The front springs have one end with the coil 'flattened' down, the other end with the coil 'wire' ending at full diameter.
Which end is the lower end?
The front MM isolator pack has two round isolators and two long tubes. Do the Isolators fit at the top or the bottom of the spring?
And what are the long tubes for?
The rear springs don't have a flattened end as both coils are full width 'wire' at the ends. However the coil at one end appears to be coiled closer to the next coil down than at the other end. Is that significant?
The MM rear isolator pack has four isolators, two molded with a 'spiral groove' to fit the coil end, and two circular with a shoulder and no groove.
I think the 'grooved' isolators fit the lower end of the spring and the 'non-molded' fit the top. Is that right?
I'm sure this is straighforward for those in the know but given there are a number of combinations here I want to make sure I do this right the first time!
