Eibach Pro kit lowering springs

[specialguess]

Hello everyone,

I have a question for you guys that have installed Eibach lowering springs or have seen it done.

Which way is up? The box doesn’t say which way is up neither does the website. I really don't to install the springs upside down.

I have started with the rear, the spring that was in it before is actually broken and so worn out I can not tell the difference between the top and the bottom if you compare the old spring and the new spring.

Hopefully someone can tell me which way is up.

Thanks in advance

Thanks for the quick reply.

On the Eibach rear lowering spring there are a few coils really close together and on the other end of the spring the coils are far apart. Trying to find out if I should put the end with the coils close together on the top or on the bottom

Thanks for the comments on my engine bay

i would put them towards to bottom

I put the 'dead' coils (the ones really close together) at the bottom in the rear springs. It's been working fine for me...not really sure that it matters.

Thanks for the info guys. It really helps

The tighter coils usually go on the bottom with all springs.

Somewhere in the literature, there was mention of installing the springs to read right side up. This is in reference to the 'Eibach' oval logo on a coil.

A little off track, your sig pic is a little too big/tall (unless you're Winfred ), but it's nice.

Funny I've just fitted Eibach Prokits to the front of my E34 and am about to fit the rears and I was thinking the same thing.
If the are supposed to be fitted with the Eibach logo the right way up that would put the closely spaced coils at the top... not at the bottom.
With the fronts the coil spacing appears symmetrical.
