Unhappy Neuspeed Race...Does it matter

Can someone help me out? My car has 36,000 miles. When at the dealer for a service, one of the tech guys saw that my rear Neuspeed Race springs were "upside down". He said he realized this when he saw that the NEUSPEED lettering was upside down.

1) Is this possible?
2) Can they even by installed upside down
3) Should I leave it? Will my ride by improved or worsened?
4) Maybe springs are installed correctly and its just the wording on the springs itself that are wrong

i recently installed neuspeed race springs on a 2k1 coupe. when i placed the springs with the lettering up(readable) the springs didn't sit right. when i flipped them upside down the fit seemed correct. this was for all 4. hope this helps...

you're springs are fine. neuspeed printed the logo upside down. the rear springs wouldn't fit properly in the strut if they were the other way up.

i was at autobacs to get tires for my rims. and the techs noticed that too. they told me my springs were upside down. but the "senior tech", the big boss said they're stupid, and not to worry. he explained it to me and the other techs. and then showed all of us how the springs were just fine.

Integ108 - do you mean you have stock struts? Yeah, I had them for no more than 100 miles and replaced right away with KONI adjustables. What a difference. The OEM stuff doesn't hold up too well with the NEUSPEED RACE.

Yup. neuspeed race springs are very stiff. too stiff for oem struts. koni yellow is definetly great investment for those stiff springs, such as neuspeed race,gc/skunk2 sleeved coilovers. My oem shocks are fine with tein s tech springs. But I will replace them eventually.

I remember one of the guys on ephatch with Koni struts and Skunk2 coilovers. His perch broke. When he called Koni he said that Koni struts were not designed for Skunk2 coilovers.

But thats the setup I plan on getting. Neuspeed race springs and Koni struts.
