Indexing springs

[cdacda13]

How do I index the front springs? I can't get them to seat properly in the perch. Any tips or tricks? Springs are eibach pro-kit.

Thanks guys.

the back of the a-arm pocket has 2 drain holes, the open end of the spring goes between the holes.

put the top in first, wit the a-arm hangind all the way down, then pull the a-arm up and get the spring in place, put the jack under the balljoint and compress everything and put the strut back on.

Exactly what he said. I would run your finger around the bottom of the a arm so you can feel the spot where the spring has to sit.
Make sure that the flat part is going up into the body, and the coil end sits in the recess in the a-arm. If you dont do it right, the car will sit higher. I had to redo the passanger side today actually cause I thought I had it right.....wrong.

Thanks guys. Driver side is done. Spring, a-arm, knuckle are all hooked up.
The passenger side a-arm had some slight distortion to it due to the press. A pipe wrench, and a really long pipe were able to twist the a-arm the 1/64th of an inch that it was off.
