Vette(s): 1973 coupe Under Construction
I just started installing my street and slalom suspension kit this morning and ran into a problem. I watched the van steel install video and saw that the ends of the springs are supposed to sit into the indentations in the spring perches. If I line up one end the other end doesn't line up. Is this a problem? if it is what can I do to fix it? Thanks

Make sure you have them right side up. Most springs have a "top" and a "bottom". If that doesn't solve the prob., Call Van Steel(or whomever you bought the springs from), and ask if you have the correct springs for the application.
