I'm not positive about the newer cars, but the 66's also have an indent in the upper frame for the end of the coil to sit in. If you don't get both springs positioned the same, your ride height will be off from side to side.

If you look in the cup area of the lower control arm, you will see an indentation for the end of the last coil on the spring.

Now that the paint is dry I'm going to put it all back togather tomorrow evening. So now for the question.... which way is up for the dang spring? I think it's the flat side goes up into the pocket and the round side goes into the A-arm in the pocket. Anyway thanks in advance.
