stupid coil question

[DgenerationX]

Hey,

I was simply wondering, why is there a sense to install coils? why do they need to be ''head up more then heads down'' idk if you understand but euh!

thx!

Not completely understanding the question, but if I had to guess at what you are saying:

Q: Why are the majority of the coils on a spring supposed to be on top?

A: I would guess its so you have less unsprung weight on the vehicle, though in my opinion the difference is negligible at best so long as they are both installed the same direction.

coils as in springs or coilovers?

 

[DgenerationX]

coils as in spring,

yelloeye exactly understood what i was trying to say.

anyother reasons ?

thanks yelloeye

 

[YelloEye]

I can't think of any other reason. At least not in our rear spring application.

The thing is, mine are install with the majority of the coil in the bottom... -_- it was my first install so... Is it worth reinstalling them correctly?

 

[YelloEye]

Nope, so long as you installed them the same you're fine, I think mine are in "upside down" as well. Oh well haha

 

[DgenerationX]

upside down FTW then XD

 

[Aikidoshadow]

upside down? you guys fail lol

Mine have majority of the coil at the top. Also the printing on them is right side up.
