I forgot which part of the spring the pigtails were, but I just did some reading and they are the bottom of the spring, the very end of it. Make it so the tip of the bottom part of the spring is aiming towards the driver's side of the car. Does that make sense?

The way I'm understanding it is that it doesn't matter which way they're placed (as in, there is no top and bottom), but it has to end in a fashion so that the rear left is essential vertical, pointing up, while the rear right has to end at an angle pointing (if up were north) northwest. My explanation sounds confusing and not entirely right. I shall attempt to get pics this weekend.

Again, thanks for the help

I had one of my back ones wrong and the pass side sat about 3/8 to 1/5 inches higher. I thought something was wrong with the springs, but i had them in wrong.
