Upside down Toytec coils??

[ScarfaceT4R]

Now that I have your attention,

Hi there :wave:

So this may be a weird question...but on every other Toytec 3" lift coil spring (part# 521600) I notice there is a Toytec logo (or Eibach) on the 3rd or 4th coil down facing you. Can anyone/as many people please verify this with me if you are running the same coils up front?

I'm thinking either, this set just doesn't have the stamp...maybe not all of them do? OR, I'm thinking this shop - which shall remain nameless if this is the case - installed them upside down & on the reverse sides (passenger side on driver side + upside down). I also had a few other complaints about some errors they made after inspecting the UCA install & diff drop install (like not tightening bolts to where you can spin the washer freely with your finger, & just leaving bolts out completely - like the two front skid plate bolts on my TRD Pro skid plate...yea).

If they are upside down & on the wrong sides, I'm wondering if that even matters? I did talk to Kelly @ Toytec & he informed me that these coils are not 'side specific' to drive or passenger (meaning the driver side would not be any longer like some OME applications), but I'm wondering if the fact that they're upside down would matter at all?

I will be looking behing these things with a mirror when I get home from work though...I need to find this freaking stamp!!

Thanks for looking, appreciate it!!

Oh, & they placed the Icon ball joint cap on backwards... I have since switched it so it faced the correct way. Waste of a 3m double sided tape ring :gun6:

Springs are installed correctly.

You can tell this by two factors.

1. The top of the spring is cut flat to rest on the top hat.

2. The bottom of the spring is tapered in to the spring perch. The perch will also have a spot for the spring to rest in, maybe look like ___/.



You can always pull the coilover out and look for the logo if it's that important. Then swap sides the coilover is on if you have to see it. I would not worry about it.

I have the same coils. No stamp or markings on mine

I couldn't tell if the top was flat or not b/c of the rubber bushing being so thick - but that totally makes sense. The bottom is definitely seated into the perch so as far as it being installed correctly, I'm feeling good about that now..

I don't care to see the logo as much as I just wanted to make sure the install was correct. Def not worth pulling them to swap sides.

Maybe Toytec just doesn't stamp them all. I know my rear super flex has that stamp though.

Thanks for the info!
