is there a market? I have a line on a few sets, 17mm. I know people typically "upgrade" to a larger size but what about those that just want to bring it back to (like) stock?

I think it would matter in order to keep the "pre load" going the same direction as it was originally designed to go
if you think of the bar/spring... pushing the a-arm down against the ground and then flip the bar (keeping the right stamping on the same right side of the car... or left) the rotation of the bar becomes backwards so if they are pre-loaded to rotate in one direction of spring pressure it would need to be installed the same as the design preload the factory picture shown seems to indicate that the stamping should go towards the front of the vehicle because you don't see the stamp in that picture... of course it could be the picture quality is all. |
