Neuspeed sports install

I'm about to install Neuspeed sports on my '02 sedan. One end of the springs is flat. Does this go up or down?

Nevermind, just got off the phone with Neuspeed. FYI, the flat part goes up.

Just got off the phone with them again. They re-assured me that the flat side goes up.

the fvcking flat side goes down, im tellin you....ive done more than ten neuspeed spring installs (race/sport), everytime - flat side down.

sorry if i seem upset, just dont want you to cause damage.

edit: and ive never had someone come back to me with problems, either. even the springs on my cars are done this way......maybe it can be done both ways, im just telling you from experience what has always worked for me.

edited for peeps who dont know tech terms.

This statement doesn't make sense to me
I would listen to Neuspeed, before I would listen to some guy on the internet. I did mine and the writing is upside down and the flat side up.
Don't you love when you get 5 guys saying one thing and 5 guys saying the opposite

the writing on the spring has nothing to do with which way it gets installed.

as far as the install of the front spring...flat down towards the ground

the big housing that the strut sits inside of.....the spring sits on it.

I'm sorry, I understood what you were saying, I just think it sits flusher(is this a word) with the flat side up.

i believe it is the flat side up so that it sits better in the uppermount and same with the rear. the rear doesnt fit properly if you go by the writing on the springs where is legible. the springs need to be upside down and same with the writing.
