    Hi all,

    Did a suspension install on a 02 Jetta GLX VR6 with an Eibach kit.. and I feel like the rear sits a bit high. Im not sure if the rear springs bottom coils are facing the right direction. I searched all around but didn't come up with an answer for this. Which way are they supposed to face?

    Well which way is it supposed to point?

    Taking picutes is too much hassle, I'd rather just address it once while its jacked up and not for just pictures

    Not sure how accurate this is, but found this info in this suspension install DIY:

    About 3/4 of the way down:
    I don't know if this is absolutely necessary but we lined up the end of the bottom part of the spring the same way the stock springs are. I just noticed that the end of the springs on the bottom of both sides pointed out. So when we installed the new springs we did the same thing. Transfer the bushing and line it up with the new spring.
