    Bought a set of Hotchkis springs. The coils get closer towards one end and I wasnt sure which end goes up. I called Hotchkis and they said "the closer coils are the top, just make sure the part number on the spring is right side up". Makes sense except with the closer coils to the top the part number is upside down. Kinda pathetic that I trust the opinion of this board more than the manufacture but here goes..
    Which way is up?
    Thanks

    Wow! That was fast. Tech support had me on hold for longer than that.
    Thanks
