Hey all, im putting standard non tems coilovers in the rear of my soarer to get rego, does it matter which side goes which? And how do i identify left from right. Does this look right for the drivers side?

Chuck it in, if something goes bang/clunk/bing. You did it wrong. Hahah, or atleast. That's how I do it. I wouldn't have thought it would be side specific..

I don't think they are side specific, but you will find that the top three bolts and the bottom bolt hole will line up better on one side than the other. (You can twist the shaft to line the bottom bolt up any way if you got it backwards). If it all went in with out too much effort, than I'd assume you got it right.

there is a left and right but unless you pull the springs off or there is a part number you are out of luck till installing them.

Drivers side springs is a bit longer and stiffer, its a LHD / RHD thing, the alignment is also different LHD / RHD to allow for the crown of the road.
