fitting sportlines

[Stu_182]

Im going to be fitting my sportlines in a few days and I'm just wondering which way up the spring goes? I know they are progressivly wound but do the coils that are closest together go at the top or bottom?

thanks

Safest bet is to compare it to what's currently on there. Bung it on the same as those. Done.

Are the standards progressively wound? Might be obvious which way they go when I get round to fitting them.

 

[Riley!]

it becomes obvious when fitting bud

 

[Stu_182]

Yeah just kind of thought that might be the case, I take it they only fit intothe spring pan one way.

 

[Riley!]

IIRC yes on the fronts. As for the rears I just made sure the writing was the rite way up

 

[ripp]

there is a guide here on fitting sportlines. I think it's one of fubar's

Do they not have top or something marked on them? Thought they would.

No Top marked. As said previously the Eibach name and part no. should be readable looking down on them.

Pretty sure the tighter coils are at the bottom mate!

Thanks for the help guys, looked at the springs and if the writing on them is the right way up the close together ones are at the bottom and the guide on here shows them fitted that way to so thats what I'll do.
