Mike - it would seem, from posts in here, that the first umpty ump thousand Civics were sent out with upside down springs at the back, so you're not alone

I think that someone has now gone to the work station where this is done, and turned the instruction sheet the right way up



The slightly worrying thing will be when our Civics start to go in for 2nd service and the technicians go "ahhh right - '06 Civic, need to turn the springs over!" LOL
