   fitting new lowering springs now !
   
   need to know which end the spring sits
   
   theres one end that has samller space between the coil and the other end which has a bigger space between the coils
   
   was thinking of the spaller coils at the bottom but not sure quick answer please !

   Apologies its a bit late, normally the smallers coils go at the bottom but it doesnt really make too much difference.

   smaller spacings at the bottom, where they coil close together when compressed.
