there is another thread out here about the skunk2 springs. ^^you have them backwards. there is an "f" and an "r" on the springs. this was supposed to be on there for putting them front and rear. well one of the guys on that post called skunk2 about this and they said it was a misprint. when i originally installed my springs on my ap1 they were backwards. lower in the back and high in the front. so i had to redo them.
officially from skunk2: the "f" should be in the rear and the "r" should be in the front.

The writing on mine was upside down. You can only really install them in one orientation since the pigtails have to match up on the top and bottom of the shock.
Maybe if you switched the springs front to rear, you'd also be able to flip them so the writing faces up since the pigtail locations would be different.
As far as I know, you were supposed to not have the car look raked. The "correct" way seemed like the back was lower than the front.

yea all my writings upside down on all 4 and the pig tail is on top all springs .front sits lower then back at first after contacting skunk2 about the writing and thinking they were in wrong i was like damn but all 4 springs are in correctly what i did notice is more coils closer together on bottoms instead of on top like skunk 2 told me should be.
they look like spoon springs with more coils on bottom then top like this
but skunk2 said the tighter coils should be on top and i cant flip them upside down cuase pig tail flat part already is on top
agh any insight anyone?lol f it they r on correctly ride is great s2000 stance looks good
