If these are CPP springs, I have heard that all they really do is use the same base spring and cut it to meet the advertised drop. I've never counted coils or anything, but that would explain why the ends are not clocked correctly. I have the 3" springs and mine is pretty close. I think it was off about 30 degrees or so. What I did was just rotate the spring until it sat correctly on the D on top. The bottom was then only about 1.5" rotated out from being fully seated. I think that's fine enough on my application. I have a friend who has 1" springs and his is clocked about 90 degrees off from where it should be. What he did was actually cut the extra bit of coil off the bottom such that it was fully seated when the top was aligned correctly with the D. I think it dropped it about another 1/2". In any case, I think it is definitely a good thing to get the top clocked correctly.
