Are springs marked left and right???
I just finally finished all of my installs, for now, on my gs.
Tanabe Precedo Super Down Springs
20's with 245/35/20 (all around)
Brand New lexus shocks
Akimoto Intake
But there is a big problem... The driver side is way lower and seems to rub. Also the driver side, when pushed on is soft and the passanger side is nice an firm. Tommorow I was going to have the people at the shop install spring shackles to increase height. But my question is: Are the spring labeled left and right?? From other threads I have read the driver side is heavier than the passanger side. I would think that tanabe would know that adjust the springs accordingly. Am I wrong????

Installing anything on the springs is a bad idea, don't do it!
If it is soft then your a shock might be bad. Bad springs normally will sag so that would be visually recognizable. Probably something to do with a bad installation with the bump stops if anything.
There is no left and right on the springs. Not with any mainstream brand/model for any Lexus car.
