I just started installing my street and slalom suspension kit this morning and ran into a problem.  I watched the van steel install video and saw that the ends of the springs are supposed to sit into the indentations in the spring perches.  If I line up one end the other end doesn't line up.  Is this a problem?  if it is what can I do to fix it?  Thanks

Make sure you have them right side up. Most springs have a "top" and a "bottom". If that doesn't solve the prob., Call Van Steel(or whomever you bought the springs from), and ask if you have the correct springs for the application.
