Mounted The KW Helper Spring On Top. Is This A Big Deal?
ok so was up late last night installing my kw clubsports trying to get ready for laguna and somehow managed to place the rear helper spring on top of the main instead of the bottom. how big of a deal is this?

My understanding is it's fine. Helper is just there to take up slack. Some guys ditch them altogether in favor of a longer spring without issue.

BTW, when my JRZ was installed at EAS there was a whole debate as to whether the helper should be on top or bottom and it turns out there was no "correct" answer.

Did you go with a shorter front spring in the front for more clearance?

Why swift? Those require milling of the mounts. Eibach is plug and play...
