Super Stock spring question #221104 02/11/09 01:42 PM 02/11/09 01:42 PM

Obviously the 002 is right and the 003 is left. Is that sitting in the car or looking at it from the front? Or in Layman's terms which is the pass and which is driver? Thanks for taking the time to answer my dumb question. Last edited by 71prostreet; 02/11/09 01:44 PM.

I had to have my brother stand on the bumper so I could connect the shocks. Is this normal with the super stock springs?

This works on everything I have checked when refering to factory part numbers if one side differs from the other. Mopars odd numbered cylinders are on the drivers side (left). The factory and Mopar performance in this case, numbers which end with a odd number is for the left side. And even for the right. Just check this when you are disassembling something. I haven't found it to be wrong YET. I did say YET. BTW, I run the 002/003 with the long CE shock. They have worked good for me since I loosened the shock setting up.

And I never worry about the part numbers, as long as you know they are a matched set the spring with more leafs is intended for the right side, the pass side of the car, so it counteracts torque steer. A stiffer spring on the right will counteract a cars tendency to pick up the left side of the vehicle upon a hard launch, so the car launches level. Just like cars with factory rear coils put an air bag in the right side of the car for the same reason.
