Springs install question

[CosmosM3]

I recently bought bilstein sports/racing dynamic green springs for sale locally. The fronts came fully assembled in the strut housing. However, the front springs are installed different on both sides. Anyone know the correct way the springs should be mounted? Sorry no actual pics of the struts.

What do you mean by "installed differently"?

Generally you want to install them with the writing right side up.
I also have a set of OG Racing Dynamics progressive green springs, I'm pretty sure my tighter wound coils are oriented on the top.

Basically the springs weren't installed correctly, one is upside down.

Thanks for your help. I'll make sure both of the tighter wound coils is on top.
The writing on the side with tighter wound coils on the top is upside down, is this correct?

It really doesn't matter...

Orient them so they are the same and you're good to go.

I just checked my set this morning. Yes the writing on my set is right side up with the tighter wound coils on top.

Basically as long as they are both oriented the same it doesn't really matter what side is up or down.
The progressive design is what gives them tighter and looser wound coils on the same spring. The lighter sprung ones will take all the daily bumps while the stiffer ones will work when the spring is compressed more.

Appreciate your help guys!

It really doesn't matter which way the springs are installed. If it bothers you to have one spring upside down, then change it. But that wont have any affect on the way the springs work or how the car behaves.

I'm still going to change them so both sides are the same. Found a pic I took of the setup I bought. Springs are rusty..nothing some sanding and spray paint can't take care of.
