It was time to finaly get around to the rear suspension on my 92 convertible GT. See a few years back I won an American Muscle sweepstake for 2K. In my shopping spree I picked up some Ford Racing "G" Springs along with Prothane bushings for the rear trailing arms. and cat back Magnaflow exhaust. Well now I'm finally getting around to doing the rear end. I've got everything back together but It just doesn't look right to me. The spings dont sit flush on the lower trailing arm. They are only contacting the front side of the coil with the weight of the car is on the axle. Pigtails are pointed to the drivers

I’m assuming you clocked the top of the spring into the notch for it? Just asking.

Just watched a LMR install video and noticed the same tilt on the spring purch as min has. Resting solidly against the front of the lower perch and spring angled away from the back. Looks like the way it is.

I clock the springs so the end of the lower part of the spring is facing forward, not rearward. Basically the opposite of how you have yours installed.
