16" front spring orientation

Fellas,
Got a couple of hours this morning while the cubs are in creche, so thought I'd end the year with a bit of my favourite pass time.
I'm just putting the front sus. together and wondered if the front spring orientation matters, I can see that one end of the coil has a short straight section (where it must of been gripped for the manu. process) and the other end of the coil has the part number stamped on it.
Hopefully a quick answer?

one goes forward one goes backwards, right side spring stop at front, left side spring stop at rear
that's the spring stop on the bottom the ring welded to damper body.

Thanks fellas (nice pic), so basically the orientation of the dampers matters, but the spring orientation doesn't (i.e. they're not handed and doesn't matter which way up or down they fit)?
