about to put on OME springs and bilstein shocks.
any last minute advice or tricks I should be aware of?
what side are the shorter springs supposed to go on and does it matter which end is up? |

The shorter spring marked PS is for the Passenger Side. If you have a left hand drive vehicle you may want to get one of the 5mm or 10mm OME spacers for the PS. |

if you have variable rate springs, I can't remember if tighter coils go top or bottom, but at least make sure that both sides match. If you've got the handed springs (one side shorter), then shorter springs go on passenger side. |

can anyone tell me what order and how the 4 washers (2 big and 2 small) and the 2 bushings go on the rear bilsteins!? |

blue, it seems to me that it practically doesn't matter which way to put the variable rate springs (tighter coils up or down). maybe 1% difference in unsprung weight. it seems like it doesn't even matter if you put them the same way or different on both sides.

Derek, you should only need 2 of those washers per lower mount. The order is washer, bushing, lower mount, bushing, washer, and then nut. |
