Re: AAAARRRGGHH !!!! Lowering springs gained me 2.5" WHY????
The upper is not "quite flat" at all. There is an alignment spigot that hangs down about an inch that you have to get the spring slid up and around first before you clock the bottom to match the stamping in the lower control arm. It is very easy to get a spring setting on it rather than around it if you don't know it is there.

Fixed without chops...... Springs were not seated right. Now both fitted, seated right and only 10mm taller than before. I suspect originals were cut by at least a coil to give 2" drop, but sagged in the end..... Happy to leave it to settle now. Next job will be fresh brake pipes up front.
