Re: Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The springs have to sit in their respective spots a certain way. If they're not correct you will have varying heights.

Re: Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There is an alignment pocket for the spring to sit in. You should see it in the lower control arm. The end of the coil will fit into this pocket.
