it couldn't sit well there.. so it spinned couple coils.. so my car was actually running on shocks for like a day until I found out that it bounced like hell and lowered alot.. I don't have a picture but should the spring end point facing outward or inward??? that should make a different I guess.. it's only the rear tho. the front is just fine
