Damn I faced the dial towards the inside! because the spring faces the same way as the stock spring on the other side...I guess Ill have more to do tomorrow. Do ya think anything could happen by having it backwards just sitting in the drivway over night.

Are you sure the dial knob, goes facing the tire???? I tried to do it this way and didn't go in, i have them facing inside....

BTW I bought my GSX from ARD in San Diego like a month ago. if that helps, maybe de change the design?

There should be a little metal piece that is on the shock body that slips in to the groove on the piece that slips over the bottom of the shock that will line it up the right way.

I dont have the shocks in front of me but I dont recall there being somthing on the shock body for the rears like they have for the fronts but I will see tomorrow... hummm I still not sure what way they should really go..what would be the best shop to call that would know for sure because it seems like it could go either way..
