Whether the coils are tighter at the top or bottom does not matter. The bottom of the coils, even those in the photo have the round bar configured so the coil will stand upright. If you turned the coil upside down it will likely fall over or lean over more pronounced as the end config of the wire is not rolled and finished flat. I think its simply a configuration thing with the manufacturing. I seem to recall a set of ARB coils back in the day had a ground off base, but these don't have that same finish. I also think the spring seat on top of the axle is flat, or dished a bit to contain the coils, whereas, its compensated for with the contoured rubber washer. In fact, the coils on mine are fitted with a flat rubber washer on the bottom and a contoured rubber washer on the top. I guess you could tip the coil and washers upside down and it would probably work ok as the actual mount pads top and bottom are flat, but you would need the washers to match the end profile . Anyway, thats what i think.Originally Posted by Winnie
