OK. So I got my S. Tech springs in and so I pull off the old strut/shock assembly and take them to my friendly neighborhood auto shop to put the springs on, as I am afraid of the rental spring compressors. Anyways I get them back and the rear springs were put on with lettering on them so that you could read it, but the fronts had the lettering upside down, I asked the guy if that was they way and he said they fit better that way, but do they go the other way? He said he would switch them around if they needed to be.

Thanks

I dont see how it would make a difference. If they are Suspension Techniques, they are a linear rate which means they are symmetrical up and down.BTW, you will want to save up for some aftermarket shocks for when your stock ones blow.

S.Tech is not the same as suspension techniques.S.Tech is a spring made by tein.

anyway, my S.Techs fit fine right side up, so i don't know what your guy was smoking. have him turn them over.

S Techs are progressive so need to be mounted right side up.

they are nearly identical to eibach pro kits except they are much stiffer and dont lower as much
