newb question
Hello all,
I picked up a set of tokico illumina 5 way adjustables with eibach springs.
They didnt come assembled and my question is which springs do I put on the front and which on the rear?
2 are thicker coiled but shorter, 2 are slightly longer with a thinner coil.
I would have assumed the thicker in the front however when assembling with the thinner coiled spring in the rear they require shimming in order to fit tight in the strut assembly?
I switched the springs around and put the thicker coils in the rear and all all springs fit on the struts tightly with no shimming. Is this incorrect? Should I switch it back so the thicker coil is in the front?
Thats kind of what threw me off a bit. Any response is appretiated.
Thanks again,

by shimming I had to shim between the upper mount and pump stop in order to fit the springs tight in order to have the longer springs in the rear. didnt all make sense to me. lol
