Default ****INSTALLED SPRINGS PTII****

I hate s2000s now. lol.

ok so i just swapped my front and rear springs and i put the taller ones in the front. WTF!!!!! nothing changed in the spring compression, check out the pics

This is the spring
. Does that look right. Look at the middle, those coils seem kinda close together.



These are pics before i let the car off the jack (obviously)




Notice how the 2 bars in the middle are touching.



Now check out the rear springs after its off the jacks



What is going on?

Was the other side like that too?

On another note... are those installed the right way? like do u possibly have top of the spring upside down? Or is this correct?

what springs are those? deff doesn't look right. might try checking you product # and making sure you got the right items. My s-techs didn't look like that when i put them on. I know i wouldn't drive on springs like that.

i'm not sure about this, but shouldn't the springs have some kind of label on them to tell you between front, and rear, and left and right??

Ok.. can anyone else verify that this is the correct way? As in the coils are alot closer together on the BOTTOM of the strut?

My Nuespeeds are on like that and I just want to make sure that is correct because it just looks funny to me now.
