[urq] Eibach Spring Install Question

[Martin Pajak]

Todd,

In my experience with quattro springs the taller units always go up front.
 Also, if you have progressives, the bunched up coils usually go to the
top.

I also have a set of those CQ springs and I can tell you that the
progressive definetly go up front.  The rear Eibach springs are actually
exactly the same as Ur-q springs sold by sportwheels way back (same part
number).

Hope this helps.
