Steeda spring install questions

[Five0GT]

About to install my steeda progressives. Couple questions I want to make sure I get right.
1. Is there a top and bottom to the springs or it doesn't matter?
2. What are any torque specs for anything I need to tighten?

get on youtube and watch cj pony parts videos for installs. they not only give you a step by step but also a needed tools list.

Read the instructions throughly. Especially regarding the front springs. I had my front springs put in upside down. Typical male. Who needs instructions.

 

[Five0GT]

I just did the back springs. Pretty easy. Tomorrow I'll do the fronts. The instructions and YouTube video don't mention the torque specs. Anyone know the torque specs on front calipers? I torqued the blue bolts in the rear to 150

I also didn't see much detail about which side is up in the instructions

The top is the side that fits 3/4 around the strut top. There is a picture on the instructions showing you a birds eye view of the front strut.

I also didn't see much detail about which side is up in the instructions

From instructions regarding the fronts:

Carefully release the stock spring, and compress
the new Steeda front spring. When putting the
assembly back together, the larger diameter
(ID/opening) of the spring should be upward and each
pigtail should be against the spring stop. It doesn’t
matter which way the logos are facing. See picture 6-7
for more information. Replace the strut nut, and repeat
the process for the other front strut.

I torqued the blue bolts in the rear to 150

The torque spec is 129 lb/ft.

 

[Five0GT]

The torque spec is 129 lb/ft.

Can it hurt that I torqued them too much?
