my car was lowered and i swapped them with stock camaro springs.... after i installed them the wheel well gap is enormous.... is there a certain spot that the bottom of the coil has to be?....

 

Are you saying that you origanally had lowering springs installed and now you have replaced them with stock springs? Yes there is a certain way the spring sits in the lower a-arm, it's shaped to fit the curve of the spring. You may have mounted them in there wrong, this could explain the extra gap you have. Should be an easy fix if this is your problem, just compress it some and you should beable to rotate it with a little force into the correct position.

 

i switched because my car was on 17's and now i bought a set of 15" welds with a big tire in back and skinnies up front..... so by looking at the lower a arm i can see how its shaped for the coil?

 

Yes there's only one way for that spring to sit in the a-arm. If it wasn't something you knew about before then you probably over looked it. Now that you know about it you can't miss it.
