Stupid question on 1LE front brake upgrade
It's been 4 years since I took my car apart and I am finally putting the Spohn tubular coil-over front end in the car. In addition, I also did the 1LE conversion.
I have everything back together - and now I am in the process of installing the calipers.
Here is the stupid question: My calipers were marked left & right on the boxes, but when I mount them on the car, the bleeders are on the bottom of the bottom, and the banjo bolts are on top.
That has to be upside down, right? My boxes were incorrectly labeled?
Anybody have any pictures of a coil over suspension with the 1LE brakes lines?

Yup, bleeder on top, banjo on bottom.

Re: Stupid question on 1LE front brake upgrade
Depends on mounting intended for the original application. You may be using them in a rear mount as opposed to front mount (or vice versa). Just make sure the bleeder goes towards the sky and the line is below it.
I failed to do this a while back and swapped left and right on a brake job, cussed myself through swapping them to the correct position after trying to bleed the air for 15 minutes.
