Help confirm C-One springs/shocks install?

It almost looks like the rear springs were installed on the struts.

I think you're right about the springs being on the wrong side. That would explain the problem! Looking at the springs from C-One (these are the actual ones I bought), I see that the ones with the tighter coils are next to the rears...So, yes, I will be swapping them tomorrow. Thanks for noticing that!

No prob. I would confirm with C-one first to be sure. It's just my observation that they seemed to swapped front to back. The rear is a lot lighter and, as such, the springs wouldn't compress as much.

I emailed them and ill let you know what they say. But honestly I think it's almost certain you're correct. I've installed a dozen or so aftermarket springs and never seen the coils so tight. It's easy enough to swap one side and see.

thanks again friends!
