looking through alot of lowering springs i was just wondering why some springs seem to have the spirals perfectly spaced out and on others the top half has more space inbetween the spirals compared to the bottom half which seems much more compressed or visa versa. i hope that made sense lol, but ya, why is that?

k thanks
, and also..., if you have springs that spiral different from top half to bottom half, does it matter which half faces up or down when putting them on?
In the back it won't matter, but I don't think the spring perch and the top seat on the mount are the same size in the front so the spring has to be oriented correctly.
As for the coil spacing... on a spring with a set rate, the spacing will be the same throughout the spring. On a variable rate spring, the coil spacing varies. For the same thickness of metal, the closer the coils are the lower the effective spring rate will be.
