mine is like that and its fine.
the base is weaker and is designed to take the presure that would be exerted by a spring, so they have put the spring on the bottom.
thats the logic i was given.

it runs fine, but there is lack of height adjustment in the rear, which is what i want!

pretty sure you can do a DIY, if you disconnect the shocks the rear should drop like a sack of potatoes.

how is the ride with coilovers in anyway? never had that opportunity on my old car (springs broke my back, now i have coilovers in this car on some ridiculously stiff setting, sigh).
