On springs that have coils closer to each other on one end that end should always go to the end that does not move..
Can you explain why, please?
If the closer coils are softer I think that they should go in first. The reason is the rest of the spring would remain relatively sill in the tube as the close coils compress and expand.
If the close coils are softer and placed at the top of the tube the entire spring would have to move back and forth before the softer close coils compress.
Maybe I should put on my tinfoil hat.

and also seems to me that one would want the soft part of the spring to be affected first by the compression. I'm no engineer. Just curious................
I wasn't trying to be contentious, but just want to know why.
Curiosity often leads me to ask why a thing should be done one way rather than another. That understanding, aside from satisfying the desire to know, can help do something in a better way.
I was curious about counter-steering too, and having learned how it works, also learned to be a slightly better rider.
