Seems to me that it wouldn't matter. If you compress a dual rate spring, the "weaker" coil section should compress first...because its weaker, no matter what end it's on. I could definely be wrong, just seems to make sense. I can look at mine if you want and see how I installed them. I believe I put them on so the printed words were right side up. However I did it, it performs great.

Danny, no need to zip tie the FMS units, unless you modify them. they will maintain tension when in full droop.Trees aren't kind to me...

When in doubt, look at the perches. Lower perch has a step, upper perch is flat.Comment

This is what I was thinking after I thought about my (wrong) answer for a few minutes. If both ends were flat, you could install it either way.Originally posted by Tommychu View Post90 Festy (Larry)--B6M (Matt D. modified B6 head), header, 5-speed, Capri XR2 front brakes, many other little mods

Right side up or upside down will make no physical difference at all as to how springs behave but I think the flatter end should correspond to where the flatter mounts are. Spring perch on Festy shocks are contoured and consequently where I would locate the least flat end of any spring.Originally posted by freshtiva View Post
I installed FMS sport springs a few years ago. I don't know if you are going to enjoy those. The tight coils compress to nothing almost right off and what's left is a very stiff and low ride. I'm slowly working my way over to OEM Aspire springs (car sits more normal and has a much more comfortable ride) and have so far switched over the back of the car.Comment
