real quick question

I'm at work and I tried searching. I'm have a memory block here. I'm installing new springs and i can't remeber if the tighter coil go on top or on bottem. I don't want to trust which way the logo is facing.

Please need help ASAP.

Depends on the manufacture.

Swifts are tighter at the bottom.

They're RobiSpec springs. I know the rear is installed right and the logo is upside down. the rear can only install one way. For the front does it really matter, as long as each side is the same?

I put the tighter at the bottem.

I got a chance tro go out for a quick drive. I added a RobiSpec RSB at the same time. I must say it's like an entierly new car! I didn't even drive to car to its limit and I can clearly tell a differane in how the car behaves. I just need to do an alignment and we'll be good.

I defiantly reccommend the RobiSpec springs. Robi and Swifts are definatly on the top of the list!

Thanks for the help guys!

I've done the install before but it's been two years. And with the logo being upside down it made me think twice... and when I think twice.... I end up thinking about it a million times...ugh

The performance of the Robi's thus far is good. Just about if not equal to my Swifts on my last Evo. Like I said I still need to do an alignment and we'll see how things are then

I'll put it this way, if you want just straight function, get the Robi's. If you want just as good of function, but want to pay a little extra for the additional 0.3 inch in the front Swifts are defiantly the way to go! I knew Tein's were junk but I learned they're not the only *cough* Tanabe *cough* junk out there. The rake was hellacious.

Compared to my fathers 100% bone stock VIII MR, I compared ride height, fender lip to the ground. The Tanabes lowered the rear a 1/4", and the front 2"...... whoa... The car just felt weird....
