What about the spring itself? Is there a proper orientation like the printed part number should face up/ the rubber isolators on the spring itself should be near the top? Sorry for ask the questions but I appreciate everyone's support!
It'll tear at the upper lip where the spring seats. If torn, they need to be replaced.

Springs are tapered, they cannot be installed upside down.
