Just almost finished putting on the daystar coil spacers and put on poly sway bar bushings and had a serious brain fart and cannot remember which, I dont know how to say it but the verticle bars that attatch to the sway bar,goes to which side. They have arrows on them but does the arrow point up or down? Going to try and get the AAL's on tuesday. I got the spacers on with out too much trouble but I am not too sure about them. The base of the coils dont exactly center up on the top of spacers. I will try to drive around the block tomarrow and see if the front end settles down a bit and get it aligned friday. Any help with this would be great.
 






Also I didnot use the added extension that they included. It stuck up way too high over the spacer and I caught the threads ok on the original bolts. Is this normal or am i doing this all over again tomarrow?
 






I redid mine, and if I put them back on right, the arrow goes on the outside, facing down.

You don't need the extension unless the spacer is taller than 1.5-2 in and you don't have a few threads showing on top of the nut, in fact it's probably safer without the extension. If you used the stock spring seat, it should sit right on top of the spacer and not hang over.

Double check the nuts for tightness and that the spacers are tight, get that alignment and you should be good to go.
