Installing the rear springs (Eibach pro-kit); is there a top and bottom?

At first I assumed the the tighter coiled area would be at the bottom, but that makes the Eibach logo upside down, which doesn't make sense for Eibach to do. Every pic I could find shows that the tighter coiled part sits at the bottom. Usually manufacturers place the logo right-side-up, which would put the tighter coiled area at the top. Now I'm confused but I don't think either way will make a difference...?

I've done a lot of suspension, however I'm not familiar with the Yaris.

Logo right side up is the standard for springs, including ours. :thumbsup:

Ok back to it. End links were corroded and had to wait on new ones to come in. Noticing the front bump stops supplied by Eibach are narrower in diameter and loosely fit the strut top hat.

I'm thinking I should just reuse the stock and cut an inch off. What says YarisWorld?

Pro-kits; I wouldn't bother with cutting the bump stops. Drop is not radical enough to really warrant it.

i say use what came in the box ...but its only a 1 inch drop so stock should be fine too.

I tried to use what was in the box but the bumpstops didn't fit snug in the top hat, it was like a pencil down a hallway. I just took an inch off stock and used it.

When i took out my original ones, one of the side had slid down.. so i don't think it was really meant to stay up
