So how do you know if they're the correct way up?

Which end of the spring is up?

H&R springs fit the same way that stock springs do. The shape of the spring is most important.
If the spring is the same on both sides and fits the same either direction, then it is correct to install the spring with the closer coils “up”.
If the spring is smaller at one end and larger at the other, the orientation should match OEM factory installed springs.


My springs are upside down but text is right side up
It is very clunky and crahshy even after new mounts installed. 2 oem and 1 solid mounts was changed.
