    Default Bilstein Suspension

    I know im going to sound like an idiot asking this question! but I've just bought a bilstein suspension kit for my novavan (shocks and springs) and im not 100% sure which way up the springs go.

    Front, is this the correct way up??

    Both look right to me. The fronts will become more obvious to see when you put it on the shock.

    I would be guessing the top one should go the other way around. But that's just based of how coilover spring set ups look....smaller tighter coils at the bottom like the helper springs

    I thought that but then I also was told any writing on them should be face up like it is in the pictures
