Default Spring installation help

I am installing my Eibach lowering springs and I have done this before on my other cars which are all independent suspension. So I was reading up on the tutorial at v6mustangperformance.com and on the pictures it seems like the guy installed them with the coils that are farther appart towards the bottom. Is that the correct way? Because if it is installed like that then the eibach lettering will be upside down.

If anyone can give me any feedback, here is a picture of the rear spring.

Yeah your logo definitely looks upside down, I don't even think the spring will sit in place oriented the way it is now.. I'm pretty sure and know a lot about suspension but I'm sure there are others on here that would know more and let's see if they agree..

TRexGAWD is right, it appears the logo is upside down...."A" is the end that is installed on the rear axle
