    That's a commonly held belief...but not true of Isuzu.

    Our lower spring perch is formed to accommodate the end of the coil, so it doesn't rotate. The top of the spring is ground flat, to fit the upper perch...

    Peruse this for more clarity...

    ...I ain't dead or nuthin'....but I STILL stink up the place...

    Didn't know that. I always thought both ends of the compression spring were ground flat. So the OEM spring is not??? I have after-market springs I don't recall for sure but I think they were flat? Not from Cal Mini or OME. Have you tried spraying your pits with WD40 it works well as an after shave too. Heheheh!
