Eibach pro truck 2.0 delivered. Spring bowing normal?

[Jdh1405]

As stated I received a set of the eibach pro truck 2.0 coilovers today and am having them installed tomorrow. The spring seems a little bent/warped/bowed and is not centered around the strut. Eibach says it’s normal before they’re installed. Including pictures if I can. Any idea?

No, not normal.

Thanks, Eibach is still saying nothing is wrong. Here’s another picture. Spring is only .25 in from body of strut on one side and a full 1 inch on the other.

Just an idea - try turning the spring seat down on the threads and see if the coil straightens itself out.

Thanks, I’ll try that it’s just I wanted to keep it where eibach ships it at for install as that’s their recommended setting.

Maybe the weight of the truck will straighten it out?

They should straighten out when installed, id bet that upper spring perch is sitting at an angle. Once it's bolted in it will straighten out and so will the spring, besides their product photos show it bowing to one side

Mine straightened out. I had the same initial concern. FYI - I have a PB and left them wound up all the way. It ended up being almost nose high! Dropped them 16 turns (Eibach claims aprox 1/8" each turn) to end up with about a 1.5" nose down. I didn't want it completely level and also find it feels the best (to me) on my truck.
