thanks boys

[bigg_vin]

whats the reason for this outa interest?

[Mr_Calais]

im pretty sure i heard something about the part being closer together is for the set hight of the spring when put in and the rest holds the weight of the car and holds it up somthing like dat

[atrail308]

a spring with coils closer together at one end is called a variable rate spring, the more it compresses the harder it gets... it'll compress the wider coils first, the as it sinks further, the closer coils will compress...

[bigg_vin]

ok, so how come it matters which way they go in?
thanks
