I just installed swift spec Rs on my evo and like an idiot I didn't pay attention to the lower rear spring perch orientation. I have done a lot of searching and I have found some vague references that the spring ends should both be facing the rear of the car. Is this correct?

 

Sorry, didnt catch this post earlier. The rear perch has an spring end indentation for proper clocking of the spring

Didnt read anything that noted which direction the perch must face

See attached image

 

I actually stumbled on this thread which has shots of the lancer ralliart and the evo from underneath at some car show. Inadvertently the captured the right and left lower spring perches, in both cases the end of the spring is facing the back of the car. Since these cars are probably straight from the factory, I assumed this is the correct orientation and copied it with my car.

As long as the spring is fully seated on the perch you'll be fine. Whether the spring is facing the front or the back in the rear makes no difference whatsoever.
