Default replacing factory springs
i had the sportline springs on my car but i have now decided to put the factory springs back on. My question is do these pictures that i have attached look ok? The front spring is sitting kinda crooked on the strut platform. i think you can tell what i am talking about...

Are you sure you're not trying to install the rear springs on the front?

The rears seem to be a bit wider than the fronts.
