Guys, I had someone to installed my springs.. The front springs looks like in the picture.. Is that what is supposed to be or it's a installation error?
Also, do the H&R Logos and Part numbers facing outward when installed in the car?
I would really appreciate it your help....
Thanks!!!

Also, the rear heights are different between the right and the left. I jacked up the car and saw that one of the springs has the logo and part # facing outward and the other facing to the front of the car..
Which one is the correct one?

PM KU530. He installed his own and did a great DIY on this installation.
As far as the pics go, they look fine to me. I'd let them settle for a few days before I jump to conclusions about one side being higher than the other. I'll check mine out tomorrow and let you know if the lettering is facing the same direction on each side. Are you having issues with just the fronts or rears also?

is it the left or right side of the car?
to let you know, when springs are installed on a BMW/MB, the right side of the car tends to be more lowered than the left

Also, as far as my knowledge, the logo and part number of all springs should face outward, not facing randomly..

Btw, isn't the end of the spring (bottom) supposed to be fit to the bottom rubber?
