Long story short my rear driver side was sagging so I was going to flip the springs. I compressed both of them pulled them out and I noticed an A/B sticker so I assumed it would save me tons of trobule from uncompressing them measuring them and recompressing them.

cheers

You can't pay attention to the lables. My 891's were labeled backwards, because they are a Australian product. Some come over here with the correct lables others don't.

Well its usually lower by about an .75 to a whole inch which is VERY noticable but since I had just put them back on the difference was about half an inch which is still noticable but not so bad.

I had maybe half a tank of gas.
