Oh thank god theyre identical

I purposefully dropped them off to be switched so I dont risk an improper installation and causing prematurely blown seals etc. I sure hope they did it correctly.

Shocks dont settle right? I already gotten an alignment in that state so Idk if I should take them off for inspection..

You should be able to tell without pulling them off. I haven't installed my B6s yet, but the rear perch has a lip on one side for the spring that should be up.

Yes double check the rear spring perch isn't upside down. Send me a pic if you need to.

Hey guys, thanks for the reply.

I am not quite sure which part you guys are referring to, does this picture show what you need?

As you can see it is definately sitting higher than it should..

Thanks for the help
