Low down springs

I wonder if anyone could post a pic of the proper way to install low down springs.

Thanks,
Jay

Tjay is essnetially correct but you have to decide how much droop you'd wind up with. The shorter spring gives you more space below your knuckle when the car is weighting the wheels so you might consider some shims below the knuckle to compensate for the increased "droop".

(ps I'm hoping I have the term correct when I call it droop...I'm not 100% certain but it seems likely)

If you wanna buy some spacers, let me know. I mistakenly got MA spacers without realizing(due to lack of ANY damn description, thanks PN!) that they fit ONLY PN MA knuckles or MR ones. I have a set of .5 and 1mm tall ones, and alot of .2mm ones. If you get enough spacers, you could try running PN's AWD Pro II or III set of short springs for that extra touch of stiffness adjustment.
