Problem with fcp heavy duty front springs

[BillyMaysHere]

I installed the heavy duty front springs from fcp and I think I might have installed the upper "cups" wrong or they sent me the wrong springs. They are much smaller in circumference than the stock ones. Here's a link for the springs https://www.fcpeuro.com/products/volvo-coil-spring-front-43415803 They are able to walk around and I'm afraid of them damaging the struts. Did i install the cups wrong? the car is sits up pretty damn high its comical

The spring in that link is a rear spring.

yeah, i also installed the ipd rear overload springs and they looked almost the same. They ****ed up right?

 

[Tuff240]

Looking that way, yes.

Billy Mays its kinda looking like a rear spring you put in the front

 

[BillyMaysHere]

I ordered what they said was a front spring

 

[philski o'flood]

your fcp link says front but shows a rear

 

[philski o'flood]

the outer diameter of the front is the same as the seat and perch that it fits between

I believe this topic of FCP having a messed up ad has been brought up before... In search of gt front springs I happened upon those, mentioned them on here and in no time ken was there to bust the myth. It's a fudged up ad.

They've hosed me a couple times, mostly shipping the wrong ish.

6.5" ? front & 5"? rear.

You might think they would fix the listing error after it cost them returns and money a couple times?

There's the quote I couldn't find.

That is kinda funny, no offense to Billy Mays, so I'm sigging that for a while

Maybe that indicates how many times it didn't result in returns?

I think most of us would have noticed the spring was wrong before installing it on the car.
