that looks kinda wierd with the spring now having more lateral(side to side) tension on it besides what it was designed for. it already looks like its being compressed sideways from the pic.

actually since it is up in the air with no weight on it, it is UNcompressed. once weight was on it, everything would go to the way it is supposed to be.

i know it was uncompressed from the vertical loads, what im saying is that, for lack of a better description, that the top is at the original location while the bottom of the sping is pushed further out towards the fender of the car. thus having the side to side compression of the spring, then when the car is lowered, the spring will further want to push outward due to the design of the suspension.
