Default Issues with Swift Spring Sport Mach Install

The front springs, I had to install them where the SWIFT words inprinted on the spring were upside down. I am thinking they painted the words wrong? Because if I had installed the front springs where the words were right side up, the spring would have not fit flushed on the shock metal mount. I called swift, they said everything was supposed to be installed right side up, however I went for the better fitment. The back however fit perfectly fine with the words right side up. Anyone has had this problem? For sure with the swift front springs one side is a smaller coil then the other side. Looking at the stock set up, the smaller coil is suppose to sit on the bottom where as the larger coil on top. Going with this comparison, the front springs are installed upside down (at least the words printed on them are upside down). These are the Sport Mach Linear ones, so I think it wouldn't matter either way since they are not progressive springs?

I'm no suspension guru but I'd have to agree that with linear springs it really shouldn't matter. If they fit better the way you have them installed then I wouldn't worry about it.
