Springs are directional?

[BKinzey]

Is this true?

I've taken my spring packs apart, replacing the bushings, cleaning them up. Now I've heard they have a front and a back

If it's true how do I tell

i dont think the 52's woudl matter...

Oh no, are your socks on the wrong feet, too?
If the bushings are the same size on both ends, and the springs are symmetrical, then what else could determine front from back? When installing springs I like to measure accurately from pin to eye on both ends of both springs and make sure that the front halves match. There is sometimes a little variation from one end to the other. The back halves don't matter if they don't quite match.
