Default BTG springs
I finally got to install rear BTG lowering springs in my GT. Other than having a difficult time getting the dealer-torqued lug nuts off the wheels, the install was pretty simple.

Does anyone have pictures, looking at the installed springs from the back/underneath? The reason I ask is that while the car seems to sit properly, the bottom several rungs of the springs stay fully compressed together, and I didn't know if this was normal.

Thanks, Chuck.

Maybe you have the springs upside down. Would upside down make a difference?
