H&R Springs upside down???

I was doing an oil change earlier and I noticed that the front springs letters/numbers were upside down... Is this the correct way? I bought the car already with the springs on it.

Oh by the way, I was using my torque app and did a scan anyhow, can anyone tell me why the misfire count for last/current driving says its not ok?
Any help will be appreciated!!!!!

Looks like it. Tighter coils are supposed to be on top, but it's doesn't really matter. Mine was upside down before and I flipped them. Rode the same.

Edit. Oh sorry those are front. Nevermind.

You have to be regarded to install the front springs upside down. They won't seat properly and it's really obvious. lol. There fine no worries.

I would normally say they are upside down because H&R usually specifys the writing to be readable on install which would put the coils on the top, but its impossible to install the fronts upside down because the bottom coil would never seat on the top hat, its wider then the top hat itself. So your fine.

or theres always the possibility the guy before him
set them up in there, and they wouldnt fit, so he sits there, thinks about it and just ****** riggs the **** out of them to MAKE them work... for all we know


personally, id take em out to look.. people do some amazingly stupid things.


e/ no im no expert on stuff like this, it could be simply NOT possible at all to install upside down, and i dont know. BUT like i said, people do stupid aszshit...


if that company makes stuff and when its installed their name is upside down.... that says a lot imo.
