Does it matter which way round the front springs are fitted ?

Do they have a "Top and Bottom" ?

So the "Tighter" wound part of the spring is the top.

The top of the spring should be flat... where as with the bottom part, the end of the coil 'should' sit into the indentation in the shock cup... make sense?

Neither end of the front springs have been made flat.

The coils are tighter on one end, would this be the top ?

Just read the writing, it needs to be the right way up.

The shorter coils go at the top.
