Not sure which way is the right way, but the springs are also a different weight. Mine are 225lb springs and thicker, just so happens the previous owner felt like powdercoating them. Gs are poss standard which are lighter, and prob nicer on the road.

Pretty sure mine are inverted too.

I've just but the windscreen on my car (for Tut Towers only) - makes it almost a sensible car

I thought you meant the colour at first but looking again Gareth's seems to be the opposite way round to Dave's
Mine might be fitted upside down; dont matter.

Gareths are fitted the 'Elise' way, spring at the bottom.

Don't know what difference if any it makes though.

Wouldn't have thought so, as I would take "unsprung weight" to mean parts at the end of the spring/damper assembley, i.e. wheel, tyre, brake disk and pads etc.

But I suppose with the spring at the bottom the centre of gravity will be lower.

As said before G, cracking car, excellent choice, glad you went for the SLR in the end

Toxic Frog & Dijon do look good together - Snot would make a lovely trio

Ref the Motorhomes - [fast show]I think I just come[/fast show]

And ref the colour coded springs - couple of gaylords

(black spring faction)
