Me I think they are seated properly (how can I tell for sure?). Would seated properly mean putting the end coil snug against the indentation for it in the CA's spring cup? The spring pad on the frame floor has all nubs showing, everything looks OK.

As an aside, I confirmed tonight the springs I took out are the original correct springs. Red slash springs with the mercedes star and the correct part # for them according to the FSM. My car had the correct stock (26 year old) spring setup and was exhibiting the positive camber.
