car is a 2001 Buick regal ls looking at rock auto and some others looks like all they show in coil springs for the rear are cargo coils
as I thought don't the part with the most winds mount at the top?
I have 2 Gabriel quick struts to install and it looks like they are on backwards?
the picture in closed is like what I am looking at

wouldnt matter either way. only matters that you have the same spring on both sides of the car

if it don't matter why do all information shows the coils close together all ways at the top like this

not to get into a physics lesson but the force is the same on a dual rate spring regardless of its orientation.
