This is going to sound goofy... front springs different??

Wondering if the driver's front coil spring is different from the passenger front coil spring... I know that some cars will have the driver's side a bit higher to compensate for driver weight, is the FD one of those cars??

Also, if the springs ARE different, what would happen if the passenger side spring were installed on the driver's side??

If you notice that the driver's side front is lower than the passenger side front, it's the strut mount - the rubber block at the top of the strut/shock assembly. They wear and sag over time, and they sag to the driver's side since there's usually more weight on that side of the car.
