I am taking my complete suspension off to clean up and repaint the bits and pieces prior to putting the car back on the road now that all the crash damage from last fall is fixed. My '72 has Illumina shocks and Eibach springs.

On the front springs (15.25" uncompressed length) there is a slightly tighter "wind" at one end and, I believe, that will be the case for the rears too when I get them off. My question is, when I reinstall them, which end should go up?

Because the springs will be loaded the same regardless of which end is up, I think it shouldn't make any difference to the ride. But it will certainly look different depending on how I reistall them. At the moment, I'm leaning towards having the tighter end up. Just checking for folks who might know.
