Think your springs and adjusters are on upside down

I thought the same as i thought watch a stupid idea! (Hard work to adjust them) but did a google search before and thats the way it Said to do it, the car came with them setup like this. Do you think its ok like this?

[MAT ED30]

100% upside down I have had loads of coil overs and not one has been upside down

Ok if i was to turn it the other way round how do
I bolt the perch to the underside of the car? Does it go through the boot floor?

Today I upset my mate in his 350bhp classic scoob, all good fun

[MAT ED30]

It's your spring and adjuster the wrong way around not the shocker just turn the spring and adjuster around

[Airz182]

It's your spring and adjuster the wrong way around not the shocker just turn the spring and adjuster around

My adjuster has a bolt that goes into the middle of it to hold it in place, as it is at the min it goes through the hole in the lower control arm then into the threaded adjuster bit,
So if i was to flip the other way round where would the bolt, bolt through?

[MAT ED30]

That whole threaded part comes out as one whole unit just drop the arm pull the lot out and flip it around. What make are they ?

[Airz182]

Fk's mate

[MAT ED30]

Ah that explains it then carry on    my mistake 

[jaffa]

My FK's are fitted the same only takes 20 mins to adjust them and change the wheels
Just make sure you put some copper grease on the bolt as it can sometimes stick and spin the whole adjuster
Or just remove the bolt like I have
