Can coil springs be upside down?
« on: November 22, 2018, 10:21:14 pm »
Hi guys

I have just purchased some new rear coil springs for my Mk5 gti and I just wondered how I tell which way is up? They look the same both ends?

So long as the pig tails locate properly into both mounts, it shouldn't matter.
