Default Installed H&R/Bilstein set up this weekend...

I have a couple of questions. The install went very well, however when we put the car on the ground for the first time the car had a crazy rake to it. We figured out that we had installed the rear spring seats upside down. No big deal. When I went to turn the steering wheel the front springs creek. Everything is installed properly (my buddies at the local dealership did the job), has anyone had this happen? We are going to look at it further on Monday but I thought I could get some ideas here. Check picture poster for pics. Thanks for the help.

Default The shock picture is the correct way, right?

I'll be doing the H&R Sport/Bilstein Sport setup in my S6 Avant this week. I also ordered the ECS 13mm spacers, and ECS camber plates. Not sure where I'm going to get the alignment done, yet (small town).

Default No, the brass spring seat is upside down...

thus the reason for the raked look.

Default I guess would've done it wrong, myself!

Although there is an exploded-view drawing in the paperwork that came with the Bilsteins that shows it correct.

Did you chop the bumpers? Any other installation notes?
