    All done. Have to test drive but went together easy. I abandoned the paint marks and made sure the spring was clocked per service manual which matched the way mine came off. We shall see.

    If I swap coilovers from the driver's side to the passenger's side or am misinformed about color codes, what happens to spring timing?

    The color codes drove me nuts. Some people’s had red/green on drivers and some on passenger’s side. But the one consistent thing is putting the spring so the bottom of the coil follows the diagram and faces towards the rear. It sits straight with no lean so I assume I got it correct.
