It doesn't matter if the rear springs are "binding" as some of you call it.

They have what is called "dead" or "inactive" coils. They are the coils that look normal off of the car, but when installed, they are sitting on-top of each-other, (As seen in a picture on the 1st page). You actually need the "dead" or "inactive" coils in some cars, because when you increase the spring rate in a lowering spring it's obviously going to be shorter than stock spring rate. If you had a low spring rate but not enough coils to fill up space, you'd have a loose spring sitting there, which would be dangerous as all hell.

In short: The "binding" coils as you guys call it, (incorrect name), are not doing any harm what so ever, they are essentially filling space, that is all. Notice the active coils below them.

Thanks.

Your car does NOT look stock. The second pic ( in your original post) is deceptive in the front..I think your car *may* not have been level with the rear sitting lower on a slight incline...or it could just be the angle of the shot. The first side pic (shown here) looks about right..very much like my Pedders.
Front is about a 2 finger gap..rear is about 3 fingeres or so.

Here's mine on Pedders:

And exact same car on Eibach Sportlines:

sometimes I wonder about that, but doesn't matter just made rubber silencers and not have to deal with the noise in the back.

Read 5posts up from your first and its answered

xcakez727

So then it doesn't matter cuz there dead coils anyways cuz the spring looked the same top and bottom so i didn't see a diffrence

So the rear closer coils go to the top

This thread is 5 years old. The guy you quoted hasn't been on the site since 2013.

Was this a question? Statement?

I see you're a new member but take a look at thread dates before posting.

jg123boss

It was a question and i knew it was old i was just hoping someone like you would see it and be able to answer that

cluelessk

Again, Punctuation would help. We can't read your mind.

This took 10 seconds to Google. https://www.cobaltss.net/forums/susp...-coils-272919/

Consensus is the dead coils go to the top.

How hard was that?

jg123boss

Nice! Now i can get started on my springs.
Btw it wasnt that hard to google i was just looking for someone cool enough to share their experience with cm and "knowledge" that you seem to have, thanks anyways.
