spring problems

[paultownsend]

been having a problems ever since fitting my new eibach springs. theyve had a thousand miles or so to bed in. but the front end seems quite skittish over bumps in the road. there running on gaz adjustable dampers, which arent set up to be hard, just medium rebound. but i never had this problem with my old weitec springs, or the apex ones i had on for a while? now picture 1 is of the eibachs, and the bottom 3 coils are completely compressed. theres only 2 2 centimetre gaps between the 3 top coils too, which cant give much travel?
picture 2 is of my weitecs. no problems there at all!
now i need this sorted b4 full camber set up and tracking at midland vw next week.handling really isnt very inspiring.doesnt feel too safe around corners at all!

Might sound mad, but have you tried turning the springs to seat the other way around, got a pic what they look like at the top or is there no difference in clearances?

[paultownsend]

i think its just how there wound. because there wound to be progressive. or something. il have a look at how they are when not compressed. dont think you can turns the springs around because of the way there seated in the top plate

Mine was exactly the same until i had the camber and tracking set up. I would get it set up and take it from there.
