Looks right to me, my coils touch together on the bottom (if that makes sense)

They are advertised specifically as being the same spring rate as stock so if you were expecting firmer...lol.

Pedders ftw though if you want performance. Pedders/TC shocks/struts are my next upgrade after i pay off my CC.

it makes more sense haveing the stiffer part of the spring at the bottom like the op. once you think about it, you want the toughest part of the spring at the bottom since thats where the weight is bearing the most.
