HIWAY ONE Posted September 2, 2003 Share Posted September 2, 2003 I've read of people putting their springs on upside down or fronts on back. I've got a new set of Tokicko springs, how do I tell top from bottom and front from back? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auxilary Posted September 2, 2003 Share Posted September 2, 2003 unless they are progressive rate springs, it doesn't matter. even progressive springs don't matter, i don't think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMortensen Posted September 2, 2003 Share Posted September 2, 2003 My understanding is that the top half of the spring is sprung weight, and the bottom is unsprung weight. You would want the tighter coils of a progressive spring to be at the top to increase the sprung and decrease the unsprung. This makes such a small difference that you would never know, but that's the deal. Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike kZ Posted September 2, 2003 Share Posted September 2, 2003 I believe with an early Z, if you buy a set of 4 springs, 2 of them will be longer. They go on the back, and the short ones go on the front. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
