hi got -100mm rear springs and they are loose when jacked up but mot coming up so wanted to cable tie them so they dont fall out or anything,
but i cant see really where i would tie the tops of them too? anyone whos done this or knows where to tie them too help please 
guessing you dont need to tie the bottoms cos the cups hold it there
cheers

will that be fine yer?
problem i thought was the tops of the springs come out of place so have to be carefull lowering off jack to make sure they are in the right place, thats what i thought people tied them for?

is the top of the spring coming out not a problem to fail on if the bottom is tied on securely?

-100mm will turn you into a professional poy hole dodger in a few days, youll learn what looks to deep etc by the bagning and crashing going on behind you

I took mine out and replaced with 50mm which have now compressed to look like 80mm lol. No idea how or why but they sit firm and look low.
