200 series stock rear coil spring question

[tmac]

On a 2009 US model 200 series the factory rear coil springs are different sizes (one taller than other by about 1/2"). Which side does the longer spring go?

 

[rustydrummer]

Longer spring on the driver side, same as 100 series. This is to compensate for the fact that most of the miles put on the vehicle will likely be with only a driver putting weight on the springs.

I think the extra weight of the fuel tank on one side is the reason.

200 series fuel tank is on passenger side.

High coil normally on the right hand side in OZ, have sold many kits around the world on LH drive vehicles and I believe is the same across the board. Most 4x4 have a variation left to right, spare tyre position is another reason.
