Just arrive down here my new springs; QA1 14", 150lbft.

What is the best way to "bolt" the springs to spring plates? I saw two ways, one is using a small U bolts upsidedown and other bolting a bar over lower and upper coil.

i made a big washer type plate with a smaller spacer the size of the id of the coil and just under the thickness of the coil welded em together , and drilled a hole to put a bolt through it.

its sounds way more complex than what it is i'll see if i have any photo's.

Or do both like Zukiboy did. Ubolts on the bottom and bar clamp over the upper coil wrap to secure the top
