Question

Advice needed from anyone who has fitted the Prodrive Eibach springs.
While fitting my mudflaps earlier I was looking at the front springs and noticed the white writing was upside down so I checked the other side which is the same. Could anyone help as to wheather the writing has anything to do as which way up the springs should fit. Have checked the rear springs and the writing is the correct way up.

The writing on my Prodrive springs are also upside down. The dealer told me about this before fitting, apparently you are meant to tilt your head under the wheel arch to look at the springs.

When I fitted some Eibach springs on a previous car (Astra GSi) the instructions said that the writing should be the correct way up.

Hope this helps.

The writing on mine is also upside down, but not concerned about it.

Mine are the same and when I queried it with Eibach they said it was irrelevant. However, before that I removed the springs again to check and they will only fit one way up anyway due their having to different outside diameters top and bottom.
