Nice!! It's a night and day difference. I drive lnf's with stock suspension or cheap springs on a regular basis since I street log club members when they get their Terminator tunes, and every time I'm amazed at how much better my car handles

Powell says that the rear springs can go in either way; there is no "right way up".

That wouldn't make sense...Front dead coil goes on the bottom and rear dead coil goes to the top. I rather whole dead coil goes to the bottom.

In theory, putting the dead coil on the "chassis" side of the suspension is a better idea, as it means slightly less unsprung weight, but with our chassis, we're not talking about a noticeable difference.

Here's the post by John Powell confirming that it doesn't matter which side is up.
(scroll up to read what he is agreeing to lol)

Put the yyz on and so far i can tell the difference from ottp but gotta drive some more to be sure. Only thing i did different was that i put the dead coils on the bottom in the rear but as stated above it doesnt matter what way they go also i left konis to a full turn from soft like i had them with ottp springs

Wait till you have some open road and can do a slalom at 50mph. That's when they really shine
