I know im in the wrong section but was hoping to get a quick answer. Putting a set of coupe springs in my vert. Got them mixed up. Which is the top? I put them in and wanted to check the height. How is it possible that the coupe springs were 2 inches shorter than the verts? The coupe springs without cutting dropped the back by 1 1/4 inch. Used the stock isos. I'm pretty sure they are in upside down. Does it even matter.
Which way is up on springs
- Thread starter ditchsnake
- Start date
the top has the stacked coils that end up being closest together - yes it matters
Flat side up.
Yes, coupe springs are about 2" shorter than vert springs, but they are made of a stiffer wire to get a higher rate. I have always thought that verts sat a bit higher than coupes with stock springs too. I just did the same swap, only I cut 1/2 coil off of each corner. Have not taken it off the jack stands yet as I am waiting on my MM IRS bolts to come in today.
And yes - the pigtail of the spring goes down. this is eay on the front as the top is closed up and ground flat. On the rear it is a bit hard to tell. On the rear the top will have the tail touching the next coil and on the bottom they will be spread apart.
