Default am I the first to have skunk 2 springs?

Just got the springs put on and they are very impressive. I've had three diff sets of springs and these are working out perfect. they have a nice drop bout inch and half and the ride is very nice. just wanted to let u know how they worked out. I will have pics up soon.

Looks rides great but all the skun2 writing is upside down on by springs is this wrong?

I had a nice conversation with s2kVTAK, who has them on his S2000, and he really likes them. He convinced me that they're worth picking up.

the back should not sit lower than the back. i did this and found it to be wrong. if you switch them then it will sit pretty close to level at the top of the tire. the springs have a "f" and an "r" on them and i assumed front for "f" and "r" for rear. wrong....ha ha i installed these twice on my car because of this. i got them on and i was like what?! so i talked to some of the local guys and the said that they had the same problem with them. i dont know why skunk2 puts these markings on there, but just count the coils the larger one goes in front. 9 coils.

oh and make sure your not putting the springs in there upside down as well. my writing is upright. the pig tail goes on the spring perch. and the flat pat goes to the top of the strut. make sure the pig tail is also turned right so that it sits fully into the perch. it should rotate then the perch will stop it from rotating.

i installed mine, and it didn't look right to me (rear lower than front)...I called skunk2, and they said there was a misprint on the springs. they said the springs with F in the item number were supposed to be on the rear and vise a versa.

Just letting you all know what they said on their customer support 1800 number...
