Yah, that's what I noticed too. And FWIW, my brakes work fine too.
Even wear pedal height has stayed the same.

Got to wonder if it's set up that way so adjusting tool can be moved
downward. i.e. trailing arm not in the way.

Of note (possibly to Troy) my return springs were not colour coded. I
just fit them on the same way Bentley shows. i.e. they don't fit right
any other way.
