Default Spring Positioning? HELP!!!
I've apperently installed my rear springs in the wrong position. (I Think!!)

At first I had the good old right side sag. (about an inch) So I rotated my springs to like clock positions. This seems to have worked for the cosmetics. BUT now the car seems to be loose in the rear. It just seems squishy. Mostly at speeds over 155MPH.

What is the proper positioning for the springs?

Thanks

I've always set mine so the tails point toward the front. Never had a problem.
