Sorry to be so annoying...
Please take a look at the pictures of my springs.

underhttp://photos.yahoo.com/leolismcls

under the "Installation Problem" folder.

Did the shop I went to incorrectly installed my springs???
My springs seems to be up-side-down compare to the CL in drive.to/acura-cl!!!
You can see in the pic that the super tight part of my springs are on top while drive.to/acura-cl has the tight part toward the bottom.
Did the shop installed my springs incorrectly?
Is this normal?????

Thx for the help
Leo

 

I don't think that's it, unfortunately. It doesn't matter if the progressive section of the spring is at the top or the bottom because the top mount and the bottom mount will see the same spring diameter and spring rates regardless of orientation.

However, you will get funky noises if the springs aren't oriented correctly in a rotational fashion, i.e. if the spring is twisted a few degrees off center.

 

Sorry I cant help you with your problem. As for being annoying dont worry about it that is what this forum is for. We are all about helpen each other out.

 

Jesus, you are starting to get really annoying here

 

Just kidding, I love you.

 

I am wondering if the front springs were put on the rear. Definately looks different from cldriver's pics. Also, are the pics you took of each side? It looks like one was installed upside down.

no it looks okay if i remember it shouldnt make a differencce the think i would have done is what i am get tru coilovers they dont mess up suspension or anything

 

It looks fine from the pic. Make sure the dust boot on the strut isnt rubbing on the springs... I had ground control coilovers on my old car and the boot was rubbing which caused lots of noise. Did you have struts installed too?

 

Nope, just springs.

 

Maybe your struts are busted?

 

true struts could be busted i would still have gone with tru coilovers
