kind of a dumb question but does the flat coil go up in the pocket or down in the control arm? _________________

Up.
Bottom of the coil is aligned in the pocket on the a-arm so that it covers one of the small holes at the bottom but not both. |

Looks like something wrong with the RR pushing weight over onto the LF? or I suppose it could be the LF sitting lower pulling the RR up.. LOL |

Check the rear isolators and the clock position in the front a-arms. That's what indexes all the springs. |

the rear isolators are long gone, they were the first things to go when I original lowered it 3 or 4 years ago, I'll have to check the fronts next time I have it in the air
Any one ever cut sportlines? |

Let 'em run a couple weeks before you cut anything. They always settle a bit. |
