Default kgmm springs install question..

i was wondering if i installed the kgmm springs correctly on my itr....
the front springs had more coils on top and less coils on bottom and fit snugged into the cup thing.
The back springs had less coil on top and more coils on bottom and again, fit snugged into cup.
is this correct?

Ever find 2 of the springs that have one side flat but the other two don't?

These two should go up front, with the flat side go on top as I remember.

The springs that comes flat on one side should go on top in front.

It should only go one way, I'm pretty sure the spring perch is smaller in diameter than the upper spring mount.

the springs i think r they right way around. they r a wider diameter at the bottom. cos otherwise if it were backwards it will not fit into the cap.

ill prob just wait a week for the front to settle in.

thanks for all ur help.
