Do your springs bottom out over bumps and such? Do you have wear between the colis from touching?

i haven't bottomed they that i know of. i also didn't cut the bump stops. there is a bit of wear from the coils touching but nothing major. you can only see the wear when you remove the springs and uncompress them.

I'm talking about wear on the non compressed part of the spring. Like I can tell physically the springs are bottoming out from the wear you can see in my 2nd pic.

I like all the guys who are saying the springs with dead coils can't be good.......When did you become spring experts? They're designed that way! lol

i did the SAME thing with mine, i even had a controversy when i was installing them because of the logo, and when i was finished i had one upside down and the other right side up... brilliant ppl on this forum told me the dead coils sit on the bottom and thats how it is now.. it's probably staying like that because i dont want to risk having to get an alignment. because it's been aligned how ithey sit now

You should still install them properly.......You won't need an alignment again.
