I just installed my H&R springs and i had a bit of trouble with the front. I had to install the springs upside down otherwise the simply did not fit...not even close. I am assuming H&R painted the label upside down. Has anyone had this problem? The part number painted on the spring is 51605 F. On the coil below it had a H&R logo and F/N. What does F/N stand for? Is this the correct spring for my application? I am wondering if I have the wrong part. I had to remove the lower isolator on the front...the bottom of the spring would not properly seat int it. My vehicle is a 08 MKX AWD in case that makes a difference. Also, I purchased the springs from tirerack.com, they are reputable and usually know their stuff. The upside down logo just does not seem correct.

Hello all. I am seriously considering getting my wife a set of H&R springs for her 2008 MKX AWD model (it has the 20" chrome clad wheels). Before I place my order for springs, I would love to see a picture of a MKX the has been lowered..or a comparable EDGE with the 20" wheels. I have spent nearly and hour looking for photos on this sight with no luck. I love my wifes MKX bit we both agree the handling is a but loose and it leans waaay too much in turns and long on ramps. Also, the vehicle has 71k miles. What is everyones thoughts on replacing the shocks and struts? The ones on the car now are not leaking whatsoever. Is it wise to change these or are the originals going to be good for a long time? Many thanks in advance... Nick Detroit suburbia
