What pic and I will go look at mine to see? I would not think that a shop would put them on upside down the spring sits into the cup of the bottom seat.

The first post above shows the spring seat upside down. The second post shows the correct installation.

Yeah, you would think. Good mechanics are hard to find. That's why I most often choose to screw things up myself... Sure, I make mistakes too, but at least it doesn't cost me hundreds of dollars in the process...

Good luck!

Re: Just have to vent guys.

Make sure that they put the coils per instructions so they don't hit your sway bar also. The indexing of the coil tab is imprtant as I recall they need to be palced towrsd the outside of the strut on final assembly.
