Hotchkis Coil Spring Installation
This past weekend I installed the passenger side Hotchkis 2" drop front coil spring. After getting everything back together, that side now actually sits 2.5"-3" HIGHER than my old stock springs. So today called Hotchkis and told them my dilemma, he said that the coil has to be installed correctly (top up, bottom down). According to Hotchkis, in order for the spring to be installed correctly the stamping of the word HOTCHKIS must be right-side up and readable (i.e. not upside down).
He said that by having the coil in the upside down the car will actually sit higher than stock. I just can't see how that can be since the coil looks symmetrical to me, but hopefully I have it installed incorrectly. Sure would've been nice to have some instructions stating in which direction they should be installed..............
Anyone ever heard of a coil spring having to be installed one way vs. the other??
