go to NissanVersaTech.com and watch the help videos on installing springs. You need basic hand tools and the springs compressors for the front. You can borrow them from your local Auto Zone. After you watch the videos, post up any questions you still have.

The spring fit perfectly like that, but it seems like the right thing to do would be to put it flipped upside down but it would not fit that way on the rubber guards.

Thanks! As far as the ride goes..me personally I don't feel that much of a difference in stiffness only because my stock springs were hard as s***! They aren't that stiff though..very easy to install as well.
