Default H&R Coilovers Installation

Has anyone installed these coilovers on their car. If you have can you please post a pic of the installed coilover on the front wheel? I had mine installed by a local Porsche dealer and I think they installed incorrectly. They did not install the aluminum hat that came with the kit and they installed the heavy spring on the top and the thinner spring on the bottom. I called H&R and they told me the springs were installed in reverse order and that the aluminum hat is required.

Thanks..

Take it back to the dealer and let them know what happened and I am sure they will remedy the situation.

No not champion but never the less make sure the tech has experience in installing the kit you have.
