If your talking about the bolt hanging from knuckle to spring eye, should be no problem installing from the top. Mine are almost 12" and drop in without a problem.

I wonder if he's in the wrong section...I believe all C4s and the last couple of C3s used composite springs...hes talking 7 leaf spring...sounds like a steel leafspring...but sig say 1988
